For me personally my favorite is the 3" followed by G. Reason being, you ride in it and to me there is no greater thrill than operating large equipment that you built with your own hands. While I agree that it can be very very expensive to buy, everything can be built by anyone with the desire. You don't need heavy machinery, but it helps. You can sign up for night courses at your locan high school or college. Materials can be scrounged. I built everything for mine including wheels. In fact I wrote two articles for Grand Scales Quarterly on how I made wheels and boxcar end ribs. By the way, I have a friend that lives 5 miles away that has a 15" gauge railroad. <br />Regards <br />Walter <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Only five miles away? Sounds like it's time to obtain a right of way and get some dual gauge track laid![:D]
