This is the latest incarnation of my multi gauge/scale model train display. I take it to the Will Huffman train expo in Williamsport, PA every November for the public to view. As you can see I have a love for New York Central steam. One tender in the display was put on backwards. Can you spot it? (yes, i corrected it) Also, the T scale engine is only a representation of the actual size as T scale is not yet readily available in steam configuration in the USA. Model railroading aficionados know that in each scale there are parameters to the proportions, hence all G scale trains are NOT 1:22. Additionally, I think most of you know that scale and gauge mean two different things. Therefore, HO and HON3 are not really different scales nor are O and ON30. I am planning to add Standard Gauge but that is something again different. The early Lionel standard gauge that I am looking to buy is actually smaller than my switcher G scale engine. I re-lettered some of the engines, - a no - no in some purists books, but I thought it added some unity to the display. I think it shows the diversity of our hobby. There are so many ways to enjoy model railroading. I am willing to travel if any of you would like to have this displayed at a local train show or club. It is not, admittedly, that big of a deal but it is different and a great "how do I get in to model trains?" conversation starter.
