Welcome to narrow Gauge Chaos

This site is dedicated to information about industrial railways.  Scattered over this site are photos of my models as well as prototype information collected over the years by my grandfather, Robert Pearson and now continued on by me.   Most of the models run on G - gauge track scaled to 2' which results in the rather strange scale of 1:13.7 or  7/8" to the foot.   Constructed from a variety of materials - mostly brass and a few assorted commercial parts - the models are inspired by actual equipment but are not always exacting replicas.
