---+!! H0n30 Marion Steam Shovel

%TOC%

Maybe there was never a steam shovel for 30" gauge
railroads. However I would like to have one for my H0n30
railroad. The starting point was a Rio Grande Models Ltd kit.  The
steam shovel has to be self propelling, like the prototype was.
The white metal frame was too soft for motorizing. That's why I had
to build a brass frame. I am using the same NWSL powering kit as
for the climax.

Abviously there were 30" gauge steam shovels, Maurice, thank
you for the note!
<blockquote>
... There actually are prototypes that were used on the 30 inch lines that
served Anthracite mining operations. These were used in strip
mining. There were also 3ft. and 40 inch lines that used such shovels
in anthracite mining, but 30 inch was common. ...</p>
