Vintage HO & OO layout "in the works"

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

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

Hello all ...blocking out space for the vintage (1930's-1950) HO and OO layout . I only have a 6' x 8' space ...so limited to an outer loop of OO ( currently Scale Craft track) and two inner loops of 1938 Gilbert track with a few interior ridings. Collecting period buildings by Ideal, Skyline , Capella, Megow to create a town ...akin to Ideal's "Tiny Town".

For the OO loop ...I'm in need of 6 Scale Craft straights ..and 4 1/2 straights ...

Or preferably does anyone have a loop of outside 3rd rail OO track roughly 6' x 8' that they would consider selling ?

Fall back position is using Trutrack that I have and adding an outside 3rd rail....wired to run 2 or 3 rail.

Entire layout will be on a roll around table (28" off the floor) so it can slide under the O scale layout when not being used...so height of anything on layout will be limited to 9" ...or be able to fold down / remove taller items ..like the chimney on the factory ...unknown if the obligatory corner tunnel will be added ..all a work in progress .
Cheers Carey Williams

Interesting layout. I did not know that Scalecraft made track. Must be real rare. Nice to see interest in American 00. Below is my Christmas layout featuring Lionel 00 and O gauge

And that VERY NICE, and often under-appreciated, 221!

I never had a 221 that I kept because most of the ones I acquired were through the purchase of collections, etc. Most of them looked as if they were used for target practice. I definitely overpaid for the 1400W set, but if I'm keeping it, it's worth the purchase price.
