A few new In-ko-pah Railroad pics

I was running a train recently and decided to shoot a few new photos...

My layout is 1/24th scale.

"G" scale is... complicated. Technically, G scale means 1/22.5 scale, but it's become kind of a generic term referring to several common scales that operate on 45mm gauge track. A lot of narrow gauge locos and rolling stock these days are 1/20.3 scale, which scales out to exactly 3-foot gauge. Then there's a lot of 1/29th scale standard gauge stuff, although the correct scale to represent standard gauge on 45mm track is 1/32 scale.

Those are the most popular scales in "G" these days. I prefer 1/24th because it's easier to work with, there are lots of detail parts and vehicles available, and the buildings would take up a lot more space if they were 1/20.3 scale. I'm modeling a fictional narrow gauge line, and I'm not hung up on having 3-foot gauge, so 42" gauge is fine with me.
