wow, I wish I had that much space to build such a layout. Keep us posted.

what gauge is he putting down? hard to tell from the pictures...

I think he said 12 gauge (or is that shotguns :rofl:)

That's shotguns :)

N, O, HO... those are some of the choices ;)

S gauge...

I knew I'd get you going with that. :)

S? hmmmm


get me going?

I meant the stupid 12 gauge response. :rofl:

Yup, S gauge, ever hear of it? Most of his trains are over 50 years old.

Nope, don't know S gauge. My father has all Lionel O gauge. A couple of engines from the '30's, and the associated cars. But he's been updating the collection for years now and has a lot of modern stuff.

just looked it up, S gauge is between O and HO

Dad's are all American Flyers. I think he said they went out of business in 1957.

And here are some pics I took back in January that show his progress. I'll take some more later. All the tracks are down and the trains are running. He's doing the scenery, landscape and structures now.
