The 28mm is to the figures eyes generally in military figures, easier to establish height when everyone is wearing hats. Making the figures...
I already referenced Shapeways as a general reference on the website. [IMG] http://www.55n3.info/people/ [IMG] Generally don't reference...
Finally got the "narrow gauge" look on the MDC/Roundhouse cars and loco. [img] [img] Easy narrow gauge Harold
Dart Castings supplies a line of OO scale wagons and figures which are well done. OO scale stuff scales out well in 1/72. [img] [img] Dart says...
Haven't done this in a while. Found these vintage 1/72 cars and trucks. [img] [img] Go to: http://tin-soldier.com/cars.html Made me think...
The IHC/AHM/Rivarossi 4-4-0 scales out to an early Porter in 55n3 [IMG] [IMG] Harold
While searching for a suitable proto railroad was perusing books from my late brother's collection. Found "Milwaukee Road Narrow Gauge" and found...
What about track? We are using HO Kato Unitrack to represent our early era narrow gauge track. The funky alternate universe HO spacing looks...
Was asked why not HO? We now have our Scale172 trains running. Simple mods to HO equipment gives us narrow gauge in a larger scale in the 1870s....
Found this idea on John Ott's old time train site. http://www.ottgalleries.com/roundhouse bash.html The Tyco/Mantua Ten-Wheeler boiler can be...
While out rubber gauging I remembered this conversion of the Bachmann HO 2-8-0. This was a conversion that showed up in the early days of On30....
The Roundhouse/Athearn HO 2-8-0 scales really well against post-1900 narrow gauge 2-8-0s like this Southern Pacific narrow gauge 2-8-0. The stock...
We can build a credible C-19 from the Roundhouse 2-8-0 with minimal bashing. The stock cab can be adjusted to make a taller one. The opening can...
What about standard gauge? Sn3 cars scale out well as 34' standard gauge cars. On3 or On30 trucks can be widened to Scale172 gauge of .784. OO...
Google the titles. There is no list. Don't usually put links because they go dead. Harold
There are drivers and axles available from places like Scalelink in the UK to reshoe our iron horses. These are 12mm which will give us Scale172...
The Peco "HOn30" track is OO9, 4mm/ft, industrial tram track. It still has the code 80 rails so there is no real advantage. Plus, I have lots of...
HO Engineer Bill likes the look of this N-scale Unitrack test piece with the faux fur grass berm for our HOn30 project. [img] The other berm...
Resurrected the benchwork from the old On30 layout. Splotched some clouds onto the backdrop to cover the defects. Tired of sanding and still not...
Haven't been here in a while. Found this in one of my wanderings looking for something else. HO locomotives translate to small loggers and...
