"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.
Post your non-O scale stuff here!

It is good to see you posting again. Your new Marlin layout seems to be coming along nicely. Have you given up on O completely or do you now have two layouts?
Really miss your open houses after York from years ago!
Happy railroading,
Don

Hi Don, thank you for comments. I miss all the nice folks who I was able to share my 0 gauge layout with. I still dabble with 0 gauge from time to time. Nice to see you my friend!
I have a fair stockpile of Marklin HO myself and sure hope to make use of at least some of it (I have a nice collection of Kof locomotives; my favorites). I have a small Marklin dealer display layout from FAO Schwarz that needs some cleaning-up and minor repairs, but the main thing is that I would like to replace all the M track used on that layout. The existing track is not in the greatest shape, and I have found it pretty hard to clean while still keeping it in place. Looking for a source for the needed track sections.
Nice layout Don!
I've met more then a few people that enjoy both Marklin and Lionel - including myself.
And Allan - "M" track rules! Don't be too quick to toss it!

Hey Allan, are you looking to replace sections of M Track? I have a bunch I can donate to you.

Looking great! Update us on your progress please!
Very nice Cesar - This is the first I've seen of your layout. Dind't realize that you have gone to HO! Thank you again for opening your beautiful former 3 rail layout - was able to visit some years ago and took a lot of photos! I've since acquired a lot of 3 rail Atlas track in hopes of rebuilding but don't have room right now. I also have quite a bit of HO equipment in case I go in that direction as well.
My Dad was a travel agent and used to travel considerably. He brought some early Marklin home back in the 1960's I think it was and I still have a few items he had.
Keep up the great work - you are one of the better layout builders here sir! :-)
Same house?
