OO Gauge Across the Pond > ScotRail from the Scottish Highlands to the Appalachians

Amfleet25124Amfleet25124OGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Here are some photos that I took yesterday at my train club of my Bachmann OO Gauge Class 158 DMU's in ScotRail's "Saltire" livery, one of the most beautiful liveries that I've ever seen.  This trainset was a must have purchase for me after the trip the wife and I took to Scotland in 2023.  Purchased it last year but this was the first time that I put it on the track and run it.

Part of the SFRM club layout represents coal mining in the Appalachians so I took these shots at that section to so the consist could feel almost right at home in the surroundings of mountains and rock escarpments like in the Scottish Highlands.  Only catch with the coal hoppers (US style) is that the UK has moved away from coal mining since the 1970s and its been non existent in the 21st century.

And here is the video that I posted on YouTube:

The train looks great running on the club layout, Kevin.  Am I right in thinking the OO scale train is running on an HO layout.

Yup Mark.

The Brits OO shares the same gauge track as HO in the rest of the world. Where the difference lies in the scale size of rolling stock, structures, vehicles etc.

OO is 1:76 to HO's 1:87.1

Funny how scales differ around the world. For us, O is 1:48, for the UK it's 1:43. N Scale is even more fun with 1:148 (UK), 1:150 (Japan), and 1:160 (US), all using the same gauge track regardless of scale.😄
