[B & O GUY]

This message is for those who would like to test a new narrow gauge Open Rails Heisler. This little model is a lot of fun to operate with quick action reverser, throttle and brake control.

Engine file is by the guru and wizard of tweak and tweakier, Master Engineer, Mr. Herb Kelsey. Herb has done a fine job on this little locomotive.

The Shay-D from trainsim.com is needed for the cab view. Sounds are by Steven West (noisemaker) and Derek Miller.

A note about the Heisler, Attention to air hose cocks is important I found out this afternoon. No MSTS drop the car and forget it here. The air pressure will go out the open valve all day long and you'll never get your 90 LBS. of air. Also this is a link and pin coupler locomotive. In later years it may have been converted to knuckle couplers. Having to load interchange cars with lumber that change would have happened around the turn of the century. Not the last one but the one before that. 18 to 1900's. The prototype was used in and around the West Side Lumber Co.'s Tuolumne, California mill as a switch locomotive. It was small at 37 tons but this made it ideal for tight turnouts and short stub tracks.
