Large Scale Central

Any Model Railroad deals on Black Friday?

Is “T” smaller than “Z”?

Ric;

Sure is smaller. I saw some photos over on buntbahn.de Galerie (the German train enthusiast site) showing 1:22.5 figures setting up a garden railway of their own using T scale equipment. Admittedly, the trains would have just been under ride-on size (#3 gauge plus), but they still looked small enough for a 1:22.5 figure to lift by himself/herself.

Best,
David Meashey

Victor, I for one, am again amazed at your ability to create such a believeable scene in such a limited space. Do you have more pics of the HOn30 layout ?

"T" is less than half the size of "Z", scale is 1:450, track gauge is 3mm. The people who model in that size are ... nuts!

@ Vic,

Humour on:
You could build a N-scale layout on the rim of a Stetson, make it a Canadian theme and use a RCMP Stetson.

Then Z on a Cylinder Hat with really steep, overhanging cliffs on the side and a rotating restaurant on the top.

After that it’s down to T inside a Yarmulke.

Humour Off!

Z is 1:220 scale, T is 1:450 scale, twice as small

Yes Vic,

I sensed a strong Brit influence on that … however the truly amazing thing is, that train keeps running even though it is upside down or whatever they are in the Land of Oz. :lol: :lol:

What’s a “Yarmulke”, some type of hat?

Ric;

Yes, it is. I guess you don’t know any Hebrew folks. It is the skullcap the men and boys wear for synagogue services and for high holy days.

Yours,
David Meashey

Thanks Vic. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :wink:

At the risk of turning the thread back to something resembling the original post… :smiley:

Has anyone seen the amazing prices for Bachmann 1:20.3 engines from a certain seller on ebay? I have never seen prices on a K-27 new with warrantee that low. I really thought I was done buying for a while but at that price…??? Or a 3-truck shay???

…no…Canadians wear Seal, or Beaver skin lined Jock Straps…it can still be cool on July first…!!
