Kirk thanks for posting. Layout looks great and I’m sure the many visitors will enjoy this and all will leave with a smile on their faces. Have a great show.
Do you have more pictures of what looks like Annie and Claribel (and perhaps Thomas) in the third picture? I didn't know that they were made in Standard Gauge, but it might be one of the various G scale (Lionel, Bachmann, etc.) sets just set up.
Looks awesome Kirk. People are going to enjoy that.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Great looking display! Looking forward to seeing some video.
In response to popular demand Chris Bogus and I fabricated the standard gauge "Thomas" by combining a McCoy drive mechanism with Bachman G scale parts. I regauged the coaches by reversing the bearings, moving the wheels outward on the axles and creating clearances around the wheels. It runs beautifully on STD72 curves, but not on STD42 (haven't tried STD57 yet). It's a crowd pleaser! (But sadly not metal!)

Thanks Kirk. Great layout!!! Young and old are going to love it!
This hobby is great. I am an O scale 2 rail P-48 guy and when I see Standard Gauge like this, I get a big smile on my face. Does that stuff look great! And yes I appreciate the 3 rail tinplate and 3 rail scale also. This is a hobby everyone can enjoy.
