tend to use the term 're-gauge', which implies modifying the original
trucks. But suspect it would be a lot cheaper to swap for trucks that are
already standard gauge. In the end, same difference - 1440 is operable on
Seashore track, only quicker and cheaper. <BR> <BR>PTM has the
opposite problem - finding broad gauge trucks to fit under standard gauge
equipment without going to expense of re-gauging. I suspect the Boston
dump car is an example. However, the open car did not lend itself to an
easy expedient. <BR> <BR>Never paid much attention to
re-gauging issues until the Trolley Fare accounts on work that had to be done
for several recent PTM acquisitions. <BR> <BR><BR> <BR>> From:

<BR>> John<BR>> <BR>> Perhaps so they could operate it on their
standard gauge track? What am I missing in this question?<BR>> <BR>>

Fred???<BR>> <BR>> Alan Pegler never had a Royal Scot. Those
were London-Midland-Scottish 4-6-0 types used on the West Coast main line.
The first one - #6100 Royal Scot has been preserved. <BR>>
<BR>> The "Flying Scotsman" is an A-3 class London and Northeastern
'pacific' type loco used on the East Coast main line.<BR>> <BR>> The
only similarity is that both made trips to US, but neither you nor I ever saw
the Royal Scot in this country - it's US visit was during 1930s.<BR>>
<BR>> As for PRC 1440, finding this link falls into the category of just dumb
luck. Any reason Seashore would re-gauge the PRC trucks rather than use an
extra set of Boston PCC trucks????<BR>> <BR>>

think it is called the Flying Scotsman today and there is a joke on line about
renaming it after the prime minister by simply removing the F from the
name. <BR>> > <BR>> > Well, I think that might have been about
1969. I went up on the Night Clunker from Philly to Providence and
met Bill Middleton (the Navy had him in Newport, RI then) and we spent the
weekend chasing a British steam engine and riding trolleys at
Seashore. That was the only time I saw 1440 and it looked pretty
good them. I have been up that way one or two times since but
I didn't see it out.<BR>> > <BR>> > <BR>> > <BR>> > On
