Nelson Gray made some Z models but switched to the production of narrow gauge N models in the late 1970s. In 1982 he had to sell the business to Kadee. After some adjustment, the models are still available at Micro-Trains lines.  More

Nelson W. Gray

Nelson Gray produced Nn3 models early on. Nn3 means narrow gauge with a gauge of 3 feet. Nelson was a mold builder and continued to do so as a hobby after his retirement. He started with scale Z: an F7 hood, a boxcar and a tank car. Then in the late 1970s he developed molds for Nn3 bogies, dummy couplings and wheels. He also made a kit to convert a Märklin Miniclub 0-6-0T loco into a shunting loco. Due to his wife's illness, he had to give up producing. In 1982 Kadee bought Nelsons molds for Z and Nn3 and adapted them for Kadee couplings. These models are still for sale in the range of Micro-Trains Lines.

Nelson Gray was an early producer of Nn3 models. Nn3 means narrow gauge track based on 3 feet gauge. Nelson was a die maker and he went on die making as a hobby after his retirement. He started with Z scale: an F7 shell, a box car and a tank car. Then end 70s he went on crafting dies for Nn3 trucks, dummy couplers and wheelsets. Soon after he introduced a wood side box car, a gondola, a flat car with and without stakes and finally a caboose with brass details. He also made a conversion kit to make a switcher on a Märklin Miniclub chassis. Due to his wife's ilness he had to give up manufacturing. In 1982 Kadee purchased Nelson's dies for Z and Nn3 and modified them for using Kadee couplers. These models are still for sale in the Micro-Trains line.

Nelson Gray produceerde al vroeg Nn3 modellen. Nn3 betekent smalspoor met een spoorbreedte van 3 voet. Nelson was gietvormbouwer en na zijn pensionering ging hij daarmee door als hobby . Hij begon met schaal Z: een F7 kap, een gesloten goederenwagen en een ketelwagen. Daarna eind 70er jaren ontwikkelde hij gietvormen voor Nn3 draaistellen, loze koppelingen en wielen. Hij maakte ook een bouwpakket om een Märklin Miniclub 0-6-0T loc om te bouwen tot een rangeerloc. Wegens de ziekte van zijn vrouw moest hij het produceren opgeven. In 1982 kocht Kadee Nelsons gietvormen voor Z en Nn3 en paste ze aan voor Kadee koppelingen. Deze modellen zijn nog steeds te koop in het sortiment van Micro-Trains Lines.
