I know there were some post touching on model railroading, G scale if I recall. Are there any O scale or HO scale guys out here? Pretty much have my O scale set and did some weathering too, now moving onto HO scale and would to hear & see from some of you other guys on what scale and line of trains, tracks etc... you are running.

Here are a few quick shots of some of my weathering, looks better in person then photos to be honest, have several You Tube videos as well.

There are O scale MTH engines and rolling stock.

LOL, those were some early on shots, most are natural dusty weathered now lol. On another note my dirt is real dirt. I bake it at 350' for 30 minutes then let it cool and sift it through a strainer and it gives a nice dirt result . I love tossing the graffiti every so often on the rolling stock as well, gives a great touch of realism. Coyote must have some of that on his 1 layout

Oh my eyes couldn't handle N scale anymore, not even sure if they will work well with HO but giving it a shot. In HO I decided to jump full ahead with Broadway Limited Imports, love their Paragon 2 and now setting up their Paragon 3 system with a few steamers to go with it like the N&W Y6b, UP Bigboy and PPR K4 Pre War... and in modern just grabbed a pair of NS ES44AC's which I can't waiting for them to get delivered on Tuesday. I stood away from MTH in HO scale because hell I must have 150 engines from them in O and they really don't stray to much on their sounds so it becomes very redundant. BLI gives a nice customization mix with their systems.

Well said Lloyd. Although I have some very expensive engines in both O and HO, the hobby to me is not the train itself, it is the making of a realistic miniature world that surrounds the track plan. Details details details.... that's the enjoyment for me. I have a 12'x 32' O scale layout, and on that layout I have a couple (fake or course) fucking in the woods, balls ass naked but in the act. I have people over all the time and they always spot something new that they never noticed before, and finally after 5 years of these two banging someone found them and almost pissed themselves. Stuff like that I enjoy, easter eggs per say

I would be in heaven, then of course living in Staten Island NYC they would find someone way to make them illegal or option B- legal with ridiculous permit fee's, and if you think moving pins are heavy lol try one of those bad boys.

Here is an old video I found from 2012 of my MTH Premier Triplex run by with the Big-boy sitting in standby. I love the articulation locomotives as well. I know crappy video work, what can I say...someday I get to Steven Spielberg status lol.

LOL, and I'm reverting backwards...

I had some live steam in G scale in my house once, yeah the smoke alarms didn't care for them all too much......

I'll stick with electric and DCS or DCC, although someday before I die I have to try those ride on live steamers or diesels.

Ye sir, and they are restoring it as a oil burner now in place of coal.

Yes Sir, I believe we have and will be doing again shortly as I roll into HO now
