40 Perspective: Changing gauges by Christopher D'Amato After the CNR took over the 42" gauge Newfoundland Railway, it began a program of ferrying shipments to and from the island in standard gauge freight cars. To get the cars across the island, the
railway swapped the standard gauge trucks for narrow gauge ones.
42 A little Maine in Michigan by Hank Tenwolde
This interesting HO scale layout follows the route of the two-foot gauge Monson Railroad through the woods of Maine with two important changes-it uses geared locomotives and runs on standard gauge track.
