@ToaCelon549 Yes, Yes it is. One of my you tube videos. I go to one of Western Maryland Rail yards....I think they were all GP36s, there is a debate on one of the locomotives as being of a different model, i think it is due to someone reading a stale equipment roster...will try to get up there this summer and debunk the mystery.
I realise that when you compare a model of the exact same prototype in both HO and OO they are noticably different. I was saying that when you use an American prototype in HO and a UK/British prototype in OO they are not noticably different in size. I own a 4-6-2 Pacific in HO and a OO scale Hornby Mallard 4-6-2 and they are almost identical in size and hieght so I get away with running them at once without it being noticable like a narrow and non running next to each other.
Many parts of this layout look like they came from the model railroad club that used to be in Gaithersburg, MD. Did they move the layout to Hagerstown after the city sold their building?
what is the model of the roundhouse at 3m35s? I want to make a custom of Tidmouth Sheds from the Thomas the tank series and this one looks really great...better than the Bachmann one. Was it kitbashed?
Interesting to see, again. Its been atleast 20 years or more since i visited this place. It honestly doesnt look like they have done a thing to it since then.
The track torpedos seem to be what my grandfather, a CN engineer from 1943-82, described to me once as small gunpowder charges that would be placed on the track in the event of an emergency so any oncoming train would run over them, hear the bang and stop.
He also told me that one time they were shunting cars when a vandel had unknowly stuck about 50 of these between the coupler itself and the knuckle. When they pushed another car against it the charges exploded propelling the knuckle out of the casing. No one was hurt but how far the knuckle flew I can't remember
My dad remembers going down to New Carlisle yard and there were either those track torpedos or red and yellow flares with nails in the bottom in pouches on some of the cars. He said the flares would be set into the ties with the nails and the red would burn for 5 minutes and the yellow for 10 as a warning of danger ahead. You could put them under water and they wouldn't go out. This was back in the sixty's and before the time of reliable radio in the Gaspe.
actually it is called HO scale you can tell that it is HO instead of O as the amount of detail and the two rail setup. also OO is the same size as HO. OO is just for the UK fellas
@gc53dfgc Technically OO & HO are different scales with OO being 1:76 and HO being 1:87 (or the other way round) but they are both designed to run the same truck chassis so use the same width rails.
You are indeed right that OO is 1:76 and HO is 1:87 but the thing is a normal person or even someone with experience with both types would find it hard to figure out wich is OO and HO. Only someone who was very exact in the measurements and knew the differences in scale very well would be able to tell. I own both HO and OO and can tell you that one engine in HO is almost exactly the same in OO their is a very small difference but not a big enough one to make a big deal about it.
So in my opinion they are really just the same scale wether it be HO or OO. They run on the same track, almost identical in size from an HO model to an OO model so maybe they should just be combined to make HOOO. Don't get me wrong there is a difference but nothing a modeler would have to worry about.
@gc53dfgc I am not in any way an expert on the guages, the first layout said 00 guage , I think on the glass. You deffinately could tell the difference between 00 and HO , if infact it was 00 guage.
It would have to be O then. OO is 1/76 wich is smaller than HO which is 1/87. Some people go mad saying that the difference between OO and HO is noticable but I own both OO and HO and they are very close to the smae size and everything. OO is only used for UK models and HO is mainly for US so they don't look awkward running next to each other. But everyone can think what they want and I will probably get a few PM's and comments disagreeing with me completly.
@gc53dfgc actually oo is slightly bigger a 1/18 scale car is much bigger than a 1/24 scale my son gets me to buy him cars and trains next tim ur at a store with a toy section check it out.
Call me a novice, but I'm unfamiliar with OO gauge. I work with O 2 rail. What is the difference?

@tomburley it said 00 guage on the glass I beleive and they were much larger than HO, So if infact it was 00 it would not use HO track.

It's 2 rail O Scale not just O gauge. The literal gauge is O but it's much closer to being in scale than Tin-Plate, or 0-27.
