General Discussion / Found a few projects!
« on: April 27, 2007, 07:16:19 pm »
For anyone interested in a Narrow gauge restoration project or two, I have found 4 machines located in Beardmore, Ontario.(that's a small town an hours drive from where I live) I looked them over real quick(sorry, forgot my camera!) and heres the scoop:
One is a wooden body that's basically rotted out. There were no tracks, idlers, sprockets, engine, from what I could see. Looked like it was stripped years ago and left to rot.
There are two steel bodies with tracks, sprockets, idlers etc... that need work. They were missing the doors, rear engine cover and side covers. The engines in each were basically one big block of rust.
Last, there was a steel body with no tracks, sprockets, or idlers.
It looked to me as if years ago, two of them had been stripped to keep the other two running. I remember those machines sitting there when I was a kid so they've been there a while. I could possibly do a bit of research and find out who owns them, if they would sell/give etc... if anyone is interested. They're in a town of less then 500 people and I have a few contacts there so it wouldn't take much to find out.

Hello all, I'm new to this forum! I'm currently contemplating purchasing a Bombardier for personal use. While browsing the net, I found this project that looks like it has potential. Too bad I don't have the time right now to restore it or I would pic it up.
