"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

I don't do HO trains but when i founded that loco .... I have to buy it.  It is a T1 duplex but who made that thing ?  I saw it may be Bowser, Penn line or ?

I am thinking to repaint it in a more correct color and display it behind an o gauge model of the same loco but is it possible to find decals somewhere ? Especially the Pennsylvania and stripes for the tender. I will remove the red on the linkage, not really prototypical and will try to find a passenger set from the same period, I think in the fifties.

Thanks for all information on that piece.  Daniel

That's an unusual model for sure. Are those 'skids' underneath pickup shoes perhaps?  Some Marklin HO runs on 3 rail track using shoes for center rail pickup.

I have a Broadway Ltd model that is beautiful and supposedly very accurate. They are easily found out there if you want a scale model for your display.

Thanks, I missed to tell that it is a two rail model, the motor takes the curent on one side of the loco and on the other side of the tender. 

What I appreciate is that it is an old model, I just will display it beside a Weaver brass T1.

Very best, Daniel
