Here is a pic showing an orange Standard gauge set and a red O gauge set - quite a difference.
The set in the middle is #1 gauge from about 1919.

Randy, there is a shop in the Dallas area, Collectible Trains & Toys, that deals with vintage electric trains and accessories. You may be familiar with them; if not, just Google for their website. They used to be in Dallas, but moved to a small community southeast of there a couple of years ago. I forget the name of the town.

Randy,

Thanks for the education on model trains. I have N and HO trains. Even have my slot cars with the train crossing track. Nothing along what you have, but they are still fun to play with.

My brother, who I purchased my 1st Packard from, and a friend bought a railcar to restore.

Well not model trains, but I picked this up at local thrift store today for a few bucks.

Randy, if your train set-up is about 1/27th scale, then 1/24th models should work well. There is a huge selection of this scale out there.

Please be aware that there is an international conspiracy to insure that no two miniature objects--vehicles, buildings, people, consumer goods are made in the same scale so that a perfectly scaled diorama could be realized. I think the Illuminati are somehow involved in this. I think it is covered in the next Dan Brown book.
