Hmmmmm, which one to run today?
Forgot to mention, in order, Wide Gauge, O Gauge, S Gauge, HO Gauge & N Gauge.
One of my junkbox rebuilds, a patched GP9F (F = Frankenstein) made up of parts from Walthers, Front Range, Proto, Athearn, PPW.
A short run-by.

Finally got my project layout up off of the floor and into place. I had to do a lot of the scenery on the back corner first, because that portion of the layout will be relatively inaccessable now that it is in it’s final position in the corner of the basement. There is enough of a hole in the corner to allow me to slip up to attend to any derailment that may occure. But not much else. Next matter to attend to is to is the wiring, so I can start actually running trains.
Homemade flats for Thomas to haul when the halloween madule goes up on Oct 1st.
Is wide gauge the same as standard gauge?
Just received some photos this morning from a fellow club member who lives out by Edwards AFB.
i too fooled around in my junk bin today…put atlas o trucks on this flat car and put a neat load on it…now i need to find a missile for it haha
Now that’s a grand sight!
Ray, I’m glad to see I’m not the only multi-scaler out there!!! G, O, S, HO , N
so many trains, so little time!!!
Doug – the boss is looking over my shoulder at your pics and wants to know what material you used to make them?
Thanks.
Yes, the only difference is that noone but Lionel could use the name “Standard Gauge” since they had a trademark. So when American Flyer, Ives, Dorfan and others in the 1920’s started making larger trains they used “Wide Gauge” to describe the size of the track, even though the distance between the rails were the same.
It’s that time of the year again
