You wouldn't get the nice house, grounds and all the nice out buildings with even more train layouts with the purchase of the short line.

Yeah, but few people refer to it as such and if I typed, "massive F scale layout," I don't think it'd had the same impact. Though he can call it whatever he wants, most people still know that general scale as G...
That may be the gauge of the track but, when scale 3 foot narrow gauge locomotives and rolling stock are operated on G gauge track, isn't that referred to as "F Scale" in the narrow gauge modeling world?
You say tomato, I say 1 gauge

Tom is a really interesting guy, and always seems to be building something, then when he considers it totally finished, he tends to move onto something else. As a Machinist, and owner of a pretty large, and very old/established, machining company, he just may have decided to move on to something else. Not like he doesn't have the money, talent, and skills.
Thanks for the information HW.

Gauge 1, is exactly that, the GAUGE BETWEEN THE RAILS, there are many different SCALES that utilize Gauge 1 track, they Range from 1:17 to 1:32, I don't recall what the different monikers are for the different scales, but I do believe that Hot Water is right about "F" being the designation for 3'narrow gauge being modeled on Gauge 1 track.
