Seems to me, if you want a lokie in narrow guage you would get a RMI Sweet Creek and change the wheel arangement. I am sure Paul Garrin will accomodate you in what ever your needs are. Image

click on the URL and it will take you to Roll Models .

The disposition of these locomotives is a mystery. While one was wrecked on the SV, it may have been
rebuilt. They may have been used on the N-C-O later, or stored in Reno for resale.

V&T from a standard gauge
