    Bobber Caboose?

    Running on our Christmas layout, a LGB Gnomy caboose adapted to run on S Gauge track. That's a nephew peering from the cupola side window.

    Old starter train set revival...for the memories.

    Wow! I'm drooling over your machine shop! Thanks for the pix! I'm most intrigued by your H0 slot tracks. I got into MRR-ing (S gauge) via the slot car route after my wife bought me a Tyco slot set as a "joke" Christmas gift in 1981. As you may already know, what began as H0 "Model Motoring" in...

    Howdy! Trying to find an engine that will work on this S Scale Layout.

    The loco you have is the right vintage for the "All Aboard" layout system you have. I concur with all that's been said about the importance of clean pickup wheels (found on the tender), and especially clean track. From your pic, it looks like the rails are lightly "toned" from age. Fortunately...

    American Flyer New Haven 650 coaches in RED.

    Yes, the Gilbert AF cars are based on a real prototype which, according to one source, began delivery to the NHRR in 1935. Gilbert first began making them in 1939 in sheet steel for 0 Gauge 3-rail operation. After WWII, Gilbert re-tooled and made the same prototype with more detailed bodies...

    Ever heard of T gauge?

    I suppose if one were into modelling large ships in 1/450 scale, T gauge would make it possible to include a working train in a diorama. But if modelling trains themselves is the point, I'll stick with S gauge.

    Tinplate or Hi-rail? Yes!

    Thanks, Willis! It's good to know these aren't being transferred into cyberspace in vain. More pix have been reloaded as of today; the 2006 TTOS Convention in Costa Mesa. The 2008 NTS pix have also been reloaded. There are just a couple pix still missing. They will be reloaded as soon as I can...

    Tinplate or Hi-rail? Yes!

    Aaaaaaand... the mystery of the Great File Dump of 2015 remains unsolved. Nevertheless, all images for Rail Road Days 2012 have been reloaded.

    Tinplate or Hi-rail? Yes!

    I've gotten a few more images reloaded. Still no response from the site about the reason for the image dump found last August (2015).

    Help with 2-Rail O-Scale.

    Prop blades for wind turbines, I take it. Veeeee-ry interesting shot!

    "Scale Tinplate" Christmas

    Skip... The layout is 2-rail AF and yes, that Marx flat has been converted to S gauge. Glad you enjoyed it! And for some reason, the original pix had disappeared from this entire thread. Restoration is now complete! :rolleyes:

    Tinplate or Hi-rail? Yes!

    Well, it appears that ALL the photos in this and the tinplate thread have disappeared! My apologies to anyone I've sent here recently. I don't know why the photos have disappeared.:confused: Reloading has resumed as of 12-4-15.

    My First Ever S-Scale Model Railroad Video!

    Finally, I now know what it's like to go through a Marx tunnel! :cool:

    Tinplate or Hi-rail? Yes!

    Lastly, a couple views of the city, circa May, 2012. Still lots of work to do here, but there has been one noticeable change; the far building (partially obscured in both of these shots), which is the C+D Headquarters, located right in the midst of Horse Shoe Corner. The old building was a pair...

    Tinplate or Hi-rail? Yes!

    While 3 out of 4 kids observe the wrangling of cows, our "serious eye level" gate operator mulls his options with Bossy... " 'K, should I push the button now, or wait for the train to show up? What if the train doesn't stop in time? There would be a big mess! But if I don't wait, I'll never...
