3/4" is approximately twice the size of "G gauge", which has different scales ranging from 1/20.3 to 1/29 depending on manufacturer. Jim Sparkman has custom built every thing you see by hand. Thats the cars, the track, all the stanchions and electrical work. It is a thing of beauty. Still photos can be seen on the club website eastpenn.org.

@jpdornberger and 3/4 is larger than "G scale" ???. and this "3/4" scale i've never seen this scale available commercially,are these custom model trains???.

East Penn Traction Club member Jim Sparkman's Fallon St. Railway - I believe it's 3/4" scale.
