Hi Michael, and welcome to the gauge.
Looked at your website, very nice indeed. I also liked the photo of the grey boiler Northern Pacific Z5 on the mainline.
0 gauge is a great scale to model.

to all that have taken a look at the web site.. thanks! thanks for the warm welcome to the forum... looking forward to being a member...

yea, o scale is somewhat expensive, but take a look at the new HO brass coming out or just released. tenshodos NP engines, the w&r aftermarket engines are not too cheap either...(beautiful stuff though)

i think you really pay for o scale in radius... it sucks up the room!

more new pics everyday..

new links, and some free data sheets to come!

thanks for visiting, email anytime..

Welcome Aboard, Michael!

I'm not able to open your pictures from my present location but I'll keep trying.

How long have you been into "O"?

George.

thanks for the reply..

to all..

the new pic page pics have been changed.. the previous file sizes were over 1 meg/pic! sorry about that.. will be more careful next time... all adjusted now.. around 200k/pic(like others) much faster downloads...

again, my apologies... new pics there as of today... 6.28.01

thanks again

Let me add my welcome. You have some nice work going on there. I like that you decided not to wait until the layout was finished to show us some pictures. I like seeing unfinished work that can teach me something more about the underlying construction.

peirce,

thanks! will take a look at your site now...

i figured it may encourage people to see a smaller o scale layout that has not been "finished" yet.... just to show people what a layout looks like for most of its life...basically..

thanks again,

rory,

thanks! space is the big issue! money... thats what they have credit cards for! (just kidding) scarry but some HO engines cost more than my o scale engines... space is the big thing.. 80" radius sucks up room... nice space behind the raduis though...

the detail is nice.... that is why i am in o scale..

thanks again,

woodie,

next set of pics will have some reference points for people... a few have asked like yourself..

the turntable is a 32" diameter pit. the big northern pacific engine #5004 is about 31" pilot to rear coupler... a mikado is about 23-25".

the table is about 46" above the floor of the room.

std freight cars are about 11.5" long.

any other info needed, just ask!

thanks for looking..!
