Pulled cars during scrapping was it.

Except they weren't articulated ... 😉 Mike Conder -- Mike Conder

I got to ride in one of the NBF Goosie's about a decade ago. I was so busy looking at the rest of the stuff we were passing that I missed out on a lot of goosie stuff. I guess I got over task

RGS Galloping Geese were essentially articulated units and towed the body around. Why RGS didn't have passenger bodies interchangeable with freight bodies beats me. Lack of pulling power? I was

I believe the answer to both questions is no... A goose was at best a very light piece of equipment, without couplers, but equipped with light drawbars to allow it to be towed. The Geese were RGS

Greetings All! Just a note to let you all know that the RGS/C&S 30' AC&F boxcar kits are now shipping! The F&CC/NCNG are on schedule to ship next week. The "As delivered" pre- safety appliance act C&S

The 7 with the body stripped off, a winch in place and towing.a gon appears in a handful of photos - Stan Reine's "Tin Feathers' and CRRM's Goose volume. But I have yet to find a photo of 6 towing and

Yes! There is at least one photo of goose 6 or 7 ( can't remember which and not sure of the location) pulling a flatcar during scrapping operations. It surely had to be pulling this load down hill

One was used to dismantle the RGS. Bruce Dunlevy

No, the geese never pulled cars, exept the #6 for a specific trailer. Michel

Hello Group, I searched via Google and looked through my 8 volumes of RGS but found no answers! 1. Did the RGS Galloping Goose ever pull a freight or passenger car? 2. Was a Galloping Goose ever used

Nigel can you post the photo? I'm always interested in ore cars of different areas. Mike Conder -- Mike Conder

Alberta Lines NG coal hoppers. There is a photograph of a derailment of the train with the hopper cars piled up. With a bit of parallax adjustment I came up with the following measurements using the

The Mar/Apr 2021 Gazette has an article and plans for the ET&WNC #7, 0-8-0 switcher. It was originally built with a slope-backed tender. It was rebuilt with smaller drivers and the tender body was

Had another look at the switcher, it is the Baldwin. Coal was transferred by trestle and chute to SG cars at Dunmore Junction prior to the line being SG. NG coal cars. I believe they were hoppers.

Jon Stutz that's how I intend to model it ... Mike Conder

Mike There might not have been anything more at Guthrie than the two tracks. The Narrow Gauge Pictorial volume covering C&S Gondolas has a couple photos of the C&S ore transfer

Interesting photo Nigel Do you have any details on the NWN&C/AR&C narrow gauge coal hoppers? Presumably they are southbound to the Great Falls connection, for Montana

Oh, concerning transfers at Guthrie (and apologies to all.who have no interest in the MorencinSouthern.) As far as I can tell there were no facilities to allow gravity transfers at Guthrie, only a SG

That's what the Myrick roster says but he also references a runaway in 1906 by the "goat" which jumped the tracks on the 3rd look and required rebuilding. A Moctezuma loco was borrowed until it was
