Nope...  He's 1:1.  And highly prey-driven.  I had to clean his saliva off the baggage car roof.

Thanks for the Link!
Even if it is a smallish loop it looks so fun!!
Kinda makes me want to go buy a house... Lol
I bet the winters are fun!

Oh and I have a couple of the Bmann Gondolas, I believe they are narrow gauge, I don't really need them per say, but I do need something in the 1:29 area, do know where I can get a couple cars cheap?

I'm usually hunting on eBay...  Clearly eBay isn't what it used to be for sellers, but as a buyer I've been pretty lucky.

So any update?
Maybe some snow running?
 :D

I am excited, I just picked up a Aristocraft ALCo FA-1 (NYC soon to be repainted) and even though I live in a apartment I am going to try and get it in some snow! Can't do that with N scale ya know?  :D

Getting the itch to make this track plan much more interesting but I must be fresh out of creative thought...  I'm not sure what all to do.  Then there's part of me that thinks my G scale budget, what little there is, should be used to convert the loco to R/C battery.

Remember that while she has the train-set quality shell, she's on an Annie chassis with Annie motor.

Sorry for digging up old posts (blame college), but I couldn't help not to suggest https://www.gscalegraphics.net/ for RC. I have not used it personally (plan to!), but I have heard good things about this is system.

I picked up $40 worth of used LGB and Aristo track that was in good shape at the Rocky Mountain Train Show today.  The RGS is about to get a passing siding!

Does this mean that the RGS is also about to get a second locomotive?  ;)

Sadly, no...  Not soon, anyway.

Who hacked your account and changed your screen name?

Should anyone else be worried?

Remember, after 4 hours, you should consult Dr. Hotballs.

Installed the passing siding today.  It's been unusually warm here on the plains while the mountains have been getting snow.



It should allow a 2-car passenger train room to be passed by a freight. This is the Rio Grande Southern after all...passenger service isn't fast or comfortable!

If it's the RGS, it's two to three times too long, depending on which geese are running.  :D
