I agree!  I *really* want to get into 1/8 scale modelling, but not until I retire or I'll never finish the 1/87 layout...

I wonder if a 9-car United Aircraft TurboTrain would be welcome at Train Mountain?  I suspect I would need someone in each car with a fire extinguisher.....

Jason, you are correct the 1/8" scale hobby will make you forget all about the little trains.

But just think you could sell an HO scale GMD lokie for $250 or a 1/8" scale engine for $10,000 per copy.

Just think how it would look if Chuck got the Dome roofs for some of the cars. One or two of the cars are suposed to be Domes. Can't rememeber why it has never been done. Been to long.

The fellow who owns this, Chuck, takes it from coast to coast his t shirt is from Florida his home track. He is a great spokesman for the hobby very frendly always willing to help out. That is one of the great things in this scale and I enjoyed every miniute of the meet and he was one that I helped finding parts when his pickup broke down. The next big meet at Train Mountain will be in three years but between then and now there will be five meets a year to attend. Go to the web site and if possible visit, possibly enjoy a train ride if someone is avalible to give one. Boyd at Train Mountain back shop.
