"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

It's coming on Christmas and I've finally started to get a little Christmas Spirit.

I have and used to run my Lionel large scale Polar Express, most recently O scale tinplate windups.

B-9 Xmas 001I went for a year or two without a Christmas Train. I have decided this year I'll put together a large scale Christmas Train and lay some track in the house for the holidays.

I picked up a B-mann NP&S Combine and a NP&S Baggage Car some years ago and a Stainz 150th Anniversary Christmas set with an extra passenger car.

I found a sleigh and 4 reindeer that fit right well on an old hlw flat car. Bears, from wally world christmas ornament set.

There will be some more lgb passenger cars & hlw gondolas added to carry candy or gifts or a marching band...

Yesterday I started playing,

1st incarnation:

HLW Mack, HLW flat car, HLW bobber caboose.

2nd incarnation:

20171212_170314

HLW 0-4-0T, LGB passenger car, HLW flat car, HLW bobber caboose.

Since there are going to be more cars added to the train and the little 0-4-0T lacks sufficient power, time for the crew to service and bring out the Heisler:

Its' happened before, a White Christmas could happen, so l had better break out the small plow too:

I guess Robot couldn't find a tree on your planet so stood in there, eh?

Adriatic, look in B-9's right pincer, you will see a tree. look in his left, an ornament.  I instructed him i wanted a small tree and one large ornament.  Robot took me literally....

Happy Rails!

He IS awsome. Closest I've got is an unfinished Polar Lights model. I even sprung for fiber optics (life and trains stopped the project). Does he light up? Talk?

  I do have a batt. op keychain figure that might be 1:43. Ive never stood him in a boxcar doorway to look for sure, it may be closer to 1:38 or 1:40. I have a little Robbie too. They hang around the space program here hoping for a little mercy work.

(B-9 rules but I also like Robbie. Especially in the Twilight Zone "It better be hot and in the bone china cup, or I'll throw it on the floor!"  

It's his best role 

...or should I Shay his Climax?

  Thanks. The moon crater is Marx. Very thin, very delicate; it collapses under it's own weight. Not many survived. I also have a few Max figures for it.... somewhere, but I seem to have LOST them IN my SPACE ;-)

I knew an aerospace engineer too. You would ask him about work and he would rely: "All I can say is that what I'm working on goes up and comes down... it isn't an elevator
