Standard Gauge Trains in Action
Check out this YouTube video of Dorfan standard gauge trains.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqBf...ature=youtu.be The freight cars are originals, the rest of the cars and engines are reproductions. Dorfan engines were made of a pot metal that had impurities like a lot of pot metal from that period. They would expand or crumble apart after a couple of years. I have never seen a real Dorfan engine that did not have some type of deterioration. |
Nice! Gotta love a clean running Model Train layout. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice! We got our kids an LGB train set - I think it was G gauge. Is this a larger gauge or similar? Fun stuff.

Here is a video of a reproduction Lionel State set with full interior. Even the toilet seats in the bathrooms go up and down. My wife says that it is like a doll house on wheels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmODJpzaLQk |

Was always fascinated by the train hobby although never got involved in it myself. I'll never forget the layout that took up the whole attic at a house I visited with my parents once when I was a teenager, it was for sale and we were looking for a house at the time. Needless to say I liked the idea of moving into that house! That layout was supposedly staying with the house... It must have been at least 20x20ft with every imaginable detail built into it. Supposedly the guy passed and his wife didn't have the heart to tear it down as it was his passion for many, many years. It was a whole town with many, many trains. Wow!

Now here's some standard gauge action, the mighty NW 'J' 611 struggling to 'make the grade', listen for the 'wheel slip' starting around the 4 minute mark.
