Re: Maine Narrow Gauge

Hi Joe,

#21 is a different type of locomotive from #3, 4, 7, and 8.

All 4 original Maine locomotives are Forney-type tank engines, and have very rigid frames as a result. Because of #7 and 8 being 33/38 ton, outside frame 2-4-4T locomotives, they have a very long wheelbase, so they need very wide curves to avoid binding up. #3 and 4 14/19 ton, inside frame 0-4-4Ts, so they are much smaller and have a much shorter wheelbase.

#21 is an 0-6-0 tendered locomotive, so she has a lot more flexibility in the turns.
