what gauge is it

[4everford]

It is Gauge 1. That's 45mm gauge.

Running those speeds he almost needs wider curves. Nice layout.

[4everford]

All curves are at least five foot radius. Curves will handle speeds in excess of 60-70 scale MPH.

The video was taken running at no more than 20 scale MPH. The scale on the speedometer car was set for 1:20.3. Shooting a video at track level will always give the impression that the train if going faster than it really is. That's why it's important to hold the speed down. Had this video been shoot at a train speed greater than the 20 SMPH you'd have thought we were using a rocket ship.

Now thats a lot of track. Did I smell barbeque?

[4everford]

Joe has an extensive amount of track. Both the main outer loop along with an inner loop. Plus enough sidings to handle a number of trains and rolling stock.

Yes, there was barbeque along with all types of good things to eat. The TBTO doesn't meet unless there is food!!!!!!
