Tony Koester's article has me fantasising about large scale. A quick browse on walthers.com has me thinking otherwise. The turnout he has spec'd in the article are $62 each. Well, I guess you end up with less of them, so maybe in the long run things are similary priced to the smaller scales. Also, realistic angled turnouts are pretty much out of the question. OK, so I see why people have these in their gardens. Is there anyone on here doing "scale modeling" (define it as you will) in No. 1 scale (or even narrow gauge G scale?). Tony's sidebar on the evolution of the scale was very interesting. I've always been fascinated with larger scales, but darnit, they're not cheap! I thought maybe it would be cool to make a timesaver type layout, etc. in G. But even that would be pretty expensive, apparently.
