What train Scale do you have, if any?

  • I have run through the alphabet.  As a child I had American Flyer S guage trains.  Then as a teenager I switched to N-scale because we didn't have the space in our family home for a layout much larger than 4 X 8, and N seemed to offer more possibilities than HO within those limitations.  Over the years I have built 5 or 6 different layouts in N, as I moved from place to place.  I still have an operating N scale layout today.  

    Additionally, for about 10 years I also dabbled in G.  Mainly under the tree at Christmas, while the rest of the year the engines and cars sat on display shelves in the rec room.  Last year I decided to get rid of all my large scale equipment.  I finally came to realize that conditions in eastern Iowa aren't really favorable for building an outdoor railroad.  Right now I have 2 sets of Bachman On30; one passenger, one freight, that run around the Christmas tree.  I am thinking of building a shelf layout in On30, just to have a place to run the equipment during the rest of the year.

    I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

  • Mostly G with some 0n30 and a nice 1" scale live steamer on the entertainment center.
  • 1:80 scale, which is rather closer to OO than to HO.  As far as I know, it is used almost exclusively to model Japanese prototype, which makes it very common in Japan and very uncommon elsewhere.

  • G, O Scale Trolley under Catenary, S, HO, N.

    G, O and HO have operating layouts at this time between my Father's house and mine. 

    S is boxed and N-scale is loco/rolling stock residue from a former layout when I was active Duty Army.

  • My main interest is HO scale. However, I have some N scale stuff, along with a G scale set under the Christmas tree.
