1 1/2 scale Cagney type locomotive

Post by wbarbe »

I know there is a company making new 15in gauge copies of the Cagney amusement park locomotive but many years ago I thought I remember a company in Texas was going to produce an 1 1/2 scale 7 1/2 gauge version of the Cagney.
Does anyone else remember this engine? Would love to know if any were actually built.
Thanks
Bill

I’ve only heard of one 1 1/2” scale Cagney, and that was a one off build of some sort... their may be others in private Hands. Anybody else know...?

A few years ago there was a person who wanted to build a 1/2 scale Cagney, and it would have been 7 1/2" gauge, and that's all I've ever heard about any small-size Cagneys, or Ottaways, or Herschells... He wanted a model of a amusement park locomotive, not a model of a full-size locomotive. It would be great to hear if it ever got completed or what ever became of the project.

There was a person here in Florida that had a 7-1/4" Cagney in his living room that he built in the N.E. part of the country many years ago. I do not know if he is even still alive, but it was in a picture of Live Steam when I was a kid.
