more scratch built large scale trains

Post by thegalline »

Hi All

Here are some more of my models. These are all 1/32nd scale.

The camelbacks are dead rail RC controlled. one is a 4-4-2 and the other is 2-8-0

The rolling draw bridge is 1/29th scale.

I will post more. I have done a lot of design and building in the last 12 years.

Alan

That’s very impressive! How nice not having to constantly clean the rails.

What fun, Alan! I am jealous of your "dead rail" capability! If I have ooh-goo-gobs of money, I'd start all over again with RC G-Scale. If... if... if. Two toots forward; three toots back!

Thanks for putting up the photos.

thank you all for the kind words. dead rail is the only way to go.

mainline trains in 1/16 scale would be gigantic.

here are some more pictures.
