another view of our recent model railroad show in Lynden

Love the derelict car & building! What scale/gauge model RR Galen?

What a great shot AND layout. I bet the rest of the layout is just as interesting.😎

@perrone1 N scale in RR talk

Wow, that’s impressive.

@galen55 

Thank you sir!!

LOVE trains - I have a real small HO set I keep up.

@galen55  Wow... the fidelity of that rear red rim (say that fast five times... LoL ) is impressive.   I've had N-scale for decades, and have done some pretty intricate fabs & mods, but I've never seen an N-scale auto rim that nice.

Are you sure that isn't H.O.? 

Firstly yes Chris the rims look great. I dont quite get why N scale, H.O. I realise they are very old and established but I cannot relate to them. 1/24 is 1/24th the actual size of the model, 1/43, 1/43rd, 1/18, 1/18th and so on. People can then relate to the replica. First thing I say to people looking at my collection and showing a particular model is "this is 1/43rd the size of the original." They're impressed and are able to relate to the model. Anyway just my 2 cents worth, and I'm only referring to the classifications of the scale, not the quality of the work which I acknowledge is outstanding!

Could it be O scale?  The rim has the look of a diecast. It could be  a 1935 Ford coupe by Rextoys in 1/43.

@chris I too have had N scale for decades but when we moved into this house there was no place for a train room. About six months ago I contacted the local train club and met a young man who is single and loves buying and selling N scale. I worked a deal with him to sell my collection on a commission basis both on the internet and going to train shows. At the peak of my collecting I had 238 locomotives, over 2,000 freight cars and over 300 passenger cars. So far he has sold about a third of the collection. The only thing I saved is my model of the Union Pacific Big Boy which I have sitting on rails and in a clear plastic display case. I miss my trains but they were doing no good packed away in the closet.

Let’s see the U.P. Big Boy sometime!

"I miss my trains but they were doing no good packed away in the closet."

I can relate.   I have one hell of a collection - but NONE of it is on display, it's literally all neatly packed away in a closet.   One day, I'll set "something"  up but I can't, at least right now, bring myself to part with any of it.    😮 🤨 

I'm glad you're getting, more or less, what you want.  👍 

@100ford2003 Decades ago, I crafted an N-scale articulated B&O 4-6-6-4 steam locomotive and an N-scale narrow-gauge Camel-back.   One day, I should "dig those out"  and post some pics.  🙄

@ralf  You might be 100% correct!    🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 

My model train layout is S scale (1/64 scale). I display some of my 1/64 scale cars and trucks on the layout. It also has a small airport, where I display some 1/72 scale aircraft.
