| I put myself on the waitlist for this little live steam logging locomotive, called the Cricket. The first picture shows one of the 4 or 5 ever built of the prototype locomotive as it existed in the 1890s, manufactured by Byers.
This next picture shows the cricket as originally manufactured by Berkely Locomotive Works in 1900-1994 (130 units) and the last picture shows the model as it is currently being manufactured today. I got #12 out of only 45 being built by Westminster Locomotive Works. Here's my little beauty, and hard at work pulling my 12+lbs. work train consist.
These links to MyLargeScale.com show the particulars of this locomotive's history, both the prototype and the manufactured G-Scale models, plus my delivered Cricket. Cricket Update on the first delivery And finally, Cricket #12 delivers. |
