What scale annd gauge do you work in?

[pbjwilson]

a few days ago i took a scale ruler to a peice of n scale track and it was roughly 2 feet in ho scale if we could take n scale mechanisms and put them in custom bulit ho frames we would create hon2

 

HOe in european trains are HO scale that run on N gauge track. Lilliput, Roco and some others make these trains. Try here.......

BTW...is Ohio still a state???

I have O, S and HO/OO, plus one Standard gauge set.

Since Japanese trains have been brought up, I should mention that some of my trains are Japanese O gauge, which is slightly narrower than regular O gauge. These are all of the tinplate variety.

I also have a selection of G, but it is all of the cheap plastic battery operated variety.  These trains are basically for decorative purposes, though, sitting along the top of my O gauge shelving.

1/64, 1/50, 1/48, 1/43 and some unknown scales all with O-Gauge 3-rail track.

Chuck can you post some pictures of your trains they sound interesting.

Scale - 1:80.  Gauge(s) - 16.5mm and 10.5mm.  AKA HOj and HOjn762.  Japanese prototype, running on track gauged for American HO and HOn3.

Why am I here, in the toy trains world?  Most of my freight stock and a few of my locomotives (and one diesel rail bus) are genuine tinplate - fabricated from galvanized steel sheetmetal with rudimentary (or nonexistent) details.  They work just as well (and pass the three foot rule just as well) as museum-quality detailed-to-the-max models, and I enjoy operating them.

IMHO, the important thing is to have fun.

On30 for now. Use to be HOn30 and just HO before that.

If I had the space and the money however I would have a Maine two footer :D:D:D LOL

I am primarily in S on the scale side, but I dabble in O guage 3 rail.  I still have all my HO stuff and my son's N scale as well as a Lionel Large Scale Gold Rush set.  I just need more room to set it all up - don't we all

[dbaker48]

O is the primary, have 3 G gauge which is run around the tree or on an eleveated track.  I have on a shelf a collection of cabeese, one from each gauge so that visitors can see the difference.  It has always been a conversation point.

O Gauge, and if I had a bigger basement I'd have a Flyer(GASP!!) set up too.

David always has to be different ;)
Only O now - began in N (all gone now) and support my boy's HO under-bed layout

[darianj]

O gauge...and thinking about dabbling in HO.

[FJ and G]

currently working in scales 7/8n18 and 7/8n2 on 32 and 45mm track respectively. Within 6 months, hope to build a new 3-rail 32mm layout at my new job site.

[3railguy]

My basement layout and collection is postwar Lionel O gauge with some scale stuff thrown in.

I also have a small portable N scale layout I putz with.

Thirdly, I have an HO floor track set up off to the side of the upstairs landing.

I am into "O" guage.They stay on the tracks.

Z, HO (Marklin), O/027, On30, Standard Gauge, and Large Scale.  About the only two scales I haven't tried at some point are S and TT, although I would sure give S a good look if I had room for more trains and didn't already have too much stuff.

[Buckeye Riveter]

I play with both O and G gauge trains.

Well, I started in HO scale, 2 years ago this December.  I have four 4' x 5' layouts.  Then I added some 'N' scale.  But was disappoined in the switching abilities of the trains.  Next, I went outdoors with G scale.  I'm happy with it, but a lot of the times, weather doesn't cooperate.  Now, I'm setting up an 'O' scale (3 rail) in the house.  Have it running on the floor, through 3 rooms.  I'm just getting started with 'O' scale, so its my most active scale at the present time.  I like the size, and ruggedness, but seems to be a little 'pricy'.

O gauge is my primary interest. I still own a fair amount of HO and N but it is mostly unused. I also have a small collection of S ( a mix of Flyer, S-Helper and American Models) and two On30 locos.

[oscaletrains]

here we go... n scale, ho scale, o scale, and g scale im geting 0n30for christmas

   

[RR Redneck]

I am mostly active in O scale and N scale. I also am an avid garden railroader.

[thatboy37]

i have mostly o gauge the room size 34 x 16 but i have enough n scale from what i have not sold off to build a fairly nice size 20 x 20 room. this is just estimating my n scale but i probably have enough to build even a bigger one.

[CSXect]

S is good S is great try S now do not hesitate

If you like toyish trains A loop of O and a loop of S will make a good layout.

I plan on using O S and On30 on my layout.

[pbjwilson]

Mainly O, some G out in the garden(buried under the leaves now). Slowly selling off the other stuff I've accumulated. Have enjoyed HO, N, On30, even dabbled in HOe, which is HO that runs on N gauge track. It's all fun. Recently getting interested in MPC era Lionel - Really simple engines that run great on O-27 curves. Also bought a Z set a couple years ago but never built anything with it. Been tempted by S but nothing to date.
