18in gauge Equipment
This engine is modeled after on built by Dave Graley. It uses a frame with coupled thirty-three inch drivers supplied by Steve King. The rest of the engine is wood and is radio controlled.
This mining type engine is another rebirth of my old Aristocraft Rogers engine.
This is another photo of the same engine with a freight consist. The red box car is a copy of one made by Dave Graley and contains the batteries and radio receiver for the engine.
The engine uses an Aristo power brick with the battery inside. The cars are four wheeled. The overall height is 10 1/2 inches. The cars are 14in long representing 12ft cars.
This train is using my 7/8th cars. Since the width does not change, only the height, they look just as good behind this engine.
The side dump car was originally built by Steve King as a 7/8th scale car..
Bringing in the yule log before it snows. The log bunks were developed by Dave Cummins and sold as kits by Steve King.
The engine is the same as above before it was painted. The people are an assortment of 7/8th action figures that are perfect size for children of the estate owner. The fellow in the red shirt is an action figure of a wrestler. His height works out to be about 5ft 8in.
This picture shows the bulk of my 18 in trains. More will probably be added as time goes on.
This is a close up of my two engines. They both are powered by Aristo power bricks and have 7.2 volt racing car nicad batteries inside. Control is by a DPDT Center Off switch. Construction is all wood
This is a close up of some of my rolling stock..
