Toot toot I know vic, but there could be others that would like to go into more of the details like yourself. Just saying. Be more useful if all railroad stuff could be found in one place? i.e. 4'-8 1/2" is Standard gauge not prototype gauge .... In model railroad terms the real thing is known as the prototype...

So tired, been a long day of shopping, eating & more shopping! Shopping, I love to do that, but that can't happen all the time around here. But I can window shop while online at least. :D The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's ID: 1362273 ·

I mentioned them the very first post. If he wants to talk about trains here, he's welcome to. Vic: I never said it was a model, but I suppose I could say it's a model in 12"=1' scale. You have a point about Z, but anything smaller than HO is too difficult for my eyes and fingers. Trains can be a secondary theme to this thread, but I've been leaning toward Monty Python for the main one. Preference is toward Meaning of Life and away from Life of Brian. I'm not offering cookies or even promising to pick a funniest post... but I might. Ping!

A Z scale train double heading across a bridge. Nice, but still too small for me. Z scale track and a human hand. My point precisely.

Two more funerals this coming week, and one TBD. On a positive note, had a good turnout for Bingo today, paid the bills and made a little money for the youth athletic teams we sponsor. I think I'll call that a small win..... OBTW, my dad had an HO layout on a 4'x8' table hinged to the garage wall. Two loops including tunnels through mountains. Still have some of the rolling stock, but the layout went to my nephew about 10 years ago. Have to see if he's still using it... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired ID: 1362393 ·
