A Rescue Train on the D&GRN RR
Kenichi Matsumoto: "Last night, I have a new picture on the D&GRN R.R. with the rescue train which I just have finished.
The 2 MW freight cars in the consist are "rail car" and "truck car" are from
the kit of wood and metal by Southern Tool& Manufacturing Co. , once
exisisted in Elon College, N.C.- maybe products in 1950s. I bought these
kits at $7.00 each when I attended the Narrow Gauge Convention of this year
in Pasadena, CA .
The heavy crane is a brass model by Tenshodo in 1950s. The frame of the
car used many hand cut parts from thick brass sheet. They were made
by the prisoner in Chiba Prison as their rehabilitation program. At that
time, they were called "Chiba Workshop" in the Tenshodo office. They also
made the heavy depressed flat car with 6 axles.
The crane tender is Varney's plastic products.
The C&S 2-10-2 is the Challenger Imports-BooRim products and the caboose of
the same road was by the OMI.
Making train consist has a lot of fun for me.
