Time for a bit of crazy time after tonight's TTOS BOD meeting.
FYI, these are not mine, they belong to Jeff Meyer, aka captaincog.

why not? looks good to me!
Pretty cool actually. Kinda like a Momma duck with her baby duckings following behind in a weird tinplate sorta way.
Nice!

Cool- If you can't have fun with your trains then why bother !

I like it but next time I want to see a Lionel 248 O gauge, in the same colors, pulling a set of Stephen Girard Standard Gauge car. 😁

We can do that....and did something similar a while ago I thought.....
LOL but I like, I like
A little whimsical but still FUN!
Huh? I didn't see anything whimsically crazy. Everybody knows there no such thing as scale with tinplate! LOL

I gotta get me some of that 5 rail track. I wonder what is the smallest tinplate loco that can pull 4 State cars?
AS an experiment I put together some 5 ral straight track but how do you do the curves ?? Use the same radius for both ?/ or custom bend some track ??

Jim - I would recommend using same radius for both -- that worked well for my loop of 5-rail. USA Track, LLC can help you with the necessary rail, insulators, and other parts.
Thanks. I have a lot of almost new O gauge track and Standard gauge straights.

Thanks. When I did my one straight, I basically dismantled both pieces. Of course, there was a length difference. I need a dual gauge.
