Lone Star Trains | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

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

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

When I was about fifteen, I got hooked on "N" scale for awhile. I even set them up on my "O" gauge layout to act as an amusement ride for my "O" scale people. Anyway, being a teenager and making minimal money, I wanted to fill up an "N" scale layout with rolling stock and track, but couldn't afford to buy the real deal. So Jenkintown Hobby Shop, where my Arnold Rapido set was from had die cast "N" scale trains and track. Non operational locos of course. I bought a bunch of it, little by little. It looked good on my layout.

Does anyone recall Lone Star ?

I have some Lone Star trains.
My locomotive has a motor. I believe I have also seen some non-powered Lone Star trains.

I found some pictures on Ebay, after doing a search for Lone Star Trains.

Since I am interested in all gauges I also have some Lone Star:

Signal box

British Railways Princess class

Streamlined British A4 locomotive with tender (packaged separately):

The gauge of these trains was not 9 mm as with N gauge but 8.25 mm.
