David Woodhead's On3 Page



Part of my Display at Schomberg
Narrow Gauge Madness Show - April 12 '08





The latest project - a 1964 Max Gray On3 4-4-0 with a 2006 Tsunami
installed in the tender. Seen here visiting Dave Burrough's fine layout.
Dave also did some drive work on the loco, improving a previous re-motoring job.
Inspired by OR&W locos first 4 and 5, their smaller 4-4-0s.

The Crossroads Models Waynesburg and Washington combine kit
on Art Midwood's layout.

and here under construction - I used Evergreen styrene for the siding,
which fortunately blended in all right after painting!
