Dick Cowen's Britkits has released two new add-on packs for fans of narrow gauge railroading and logging operations:
The first add-on includes a 3-ft gauge Class A Shay locomotive, the second new add-on pack includes a variety of Logging Rolling Stock: disconnected log cars, flatcars, a gondola, and a caboose.
Shays are geared steam locomotives, designed to provide greater traction at the cost of reduced top speed. They were very useful on rugged tracks with steep gradients and were often used in logging or mining operations.
The Britkits Narrow Gauge Shay and the Narrow Gauge Freight Cars are available at Dick's Britkits website.
