The Large Scale Trains Page

Notice

Ed.: This is an archived version of the Large Scale Trains Page up through September 19, 2002. Posts from September 19, 2002 up to December 28, 2011 can be found at www.girr.org/girr/


This site is primarily devoted to Large Scale model trains although several other railroad related topics have crept in. Since I can't share my railroad and railroad experiences with very many people in person, I will instead virtually share my humble railroad through the magic of the Internet. Grab a beer, pull up a chair and plan to stay awhile, there are many hours worth of reading available here.

Large scale model trains are those that run on #1 gauge (45 mm) track. The actual scale can vary from 1:13.5 for trains that represent 2' gauge prototypes to 1:32 for those that represent standard gauge prototypes. The popular designation of "G" scale falls into this more general "Large Scale" category.
