Builders Lists

Post by NCBQGUY »

Has anyone come up with production (builders) lists for the major grand scale train builders like Wagner, MTC, Cagney, etc.?
I found a web page for Illinois amusement parks and there were a lot of those and other manufacturers equipment pictured.
I still have fond memories of the Wagner 4-6-4 and 4-8-4 at Kiddyland in Melrose Park Illinois and the 2-6-2s at the House of David.

We have an early thread on the various grand scale locos built over time. Might be a listing there somewhere. The thread itself is a fairly complete representation of early day builder’s Locomotive designs.
