My train garden

Nice set up. I was into HO scale for a winter. Started a layout and then it warmed up and I went back outside. Put them away and recently donated them to the local children's museum. Need to go and see if they got them running.

LGB ( 1:22.5 scale ) and 1:16 scale stuff doesn’t mix very good .
The difference is to big .
but with a little fantasy you can cheat and come up with some illusions ,
by using Bachman 1:20.3 scale stuff to represent a narrow gauge industrial railroad.
I been messing around with that since several years .
Some of the scale comparisons and ideas you can see here :

and at most Indy truck-shows I had some rail-road setups .
The biggest one was at the 2007 Indy truck show :

no but you can use the LGB track and power and custom make it all into a 7/8ths scale narrow guage rail and that does fit our trucks
