WWI 60cm Trench Equipment

Thanks Aa3rt,
I had been looking at the RMI stuff. They make great models, and I think it wouldn't be too hard to modify one of their 2-6-2 frames to make it a 2-6-2t like the ALCO and Baldwins that were over there. From the response here, I am guessing that no one knows of any other 1 to 1 scale equipment out there. I had hoped that someone would know of some that had been saved, but it looks like it's all gone....too bad. Oh well, I guess it's time to start playing the lottery...

Here are some Youtube videos from WWI showing both standard and narrow gauge equipment in use by the US Army in France, the first is silent, the second narrated. Some rare scenes here:

The 0-6-0T and 2-6-2T locos burned coal, but where were the coal bunkers? One of the 'tanks' on sides of loco for water other for coal??

I just got the drawings for the 2-6-2t engines, and both of the tanks were for water. The coal was held in the small bunker behind the cab. On the Baldwins, they could carry 476 Gal of water and 1,700 lbs of coal. The vulcans had bigger water tanks as they extended all the way to the cab, and were not as to heavy as the Baldwins.

Bet those locos couldn't go very far without refueling. How did they manage this in "trench warfare"?

I happened across this photo from Ft. Benning today of some 2 foot gauge trench equipment:

I love that video. I've seen it before. Cool railroad. Too bad it's all gone.
