Hi, guys, this is my third topic in this forum. The first two are considered SPAM by Harold, I am sorry for that and I will stop posting like that. :(

Does anyone know the logging locomotive Falk No.1 from ELK RIVER MILL & LUMBER COMPANY? I am planning to build a model of it and try my best to make it identical to the real loco in G scale. I have collected some original photos of it and bought a book "Falk No. Locomotive" by William Harris. But that's not enough, I still need to know the structure of the chassis. Can anyone help me by providing more photos of the prototype loco? :x

I dont know why the Harris book is not suffcient. Many builds have come off of there, in several scales. Although reputed to be a weak steamer, it does work. Cheers.

Yes, it does provide me much help! But I still have doubts in dimensions it states. So I hope to get the information and photos of the prototype. I think the information will be much more reliable.

The prototype was featured, years ago, in the Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazzette.
