Hi, I'm trying to find out if a 7 1/4 gauge loco still exists. the details i have are: Queen of colorado, No: 487 Steam locomotive built by David Curwen approx 1970 Denver and Rio Grande K36 Mikado I believe it was privately owned and resided in Buckinghamshire. Any information gratefully received. Cheers Tom |

heard a rumour it might have gone to "Croesor Junction and Pacific" at Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd (spelling???) and owned by a J.B.Hollingsworth. the search continues

B.Hollingsworth certainly did own it becuase it said so in my article which I havent got round to sending. I apologise for that! Very busy. The line you say Croesor Junction and Pacific is now closed I think, so it may have moved on. |
