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

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

 So here's another chance to show what you have or like. I really prefer modern diesels but I like the steam too. I bought a MTH triplex just for kicks. I had zero interest in it when I saw it advertised. I prefered my MTH Challengers anytime.

Once I modified a few items on this triplex (&installed KD couplers), it has become my favorite steam to run. I think it will pull a tree stump if I tried. It has pulled every car I could get on the rails to stay coupled.

PIKO issued the BR 24 model as an analog engine with switchable lights and smoke only. The tender has provision for both a "drop-in" decoder and sound module and there is a mount for the speaker. The conversion components are readily available and the sounds are of an actual BR 24. I only operate in the analog mode, so I have not converted mine.

K28-2This is a custom built Accucraft K28, about 40% scratch built using erection drawings and about 80 photos of the actual engine . I had to rebuild the frame to scale and add loads of detail not on the stock model including new tender frame and trucks. It is electric RC battery powered with sound. It runs very smoothly, but has sat on this shelf for 10 years now. I painted the engineer as well. I admire it every day in my train room.

Very nice all!

Sam, I was at a train show and there were a couple of USA prestige models on blow out on the factory tables. The big boy and the Hudson. I could have stole them the were so cheap. My girl was with me and pulled me away. We agreed "no more trains". I can't tell you how much it still hurts! Happened over and over. Same thing with a Accucraft PRR on a table of Nicholas Smith later on. I stopped going to shows to save myself the grief.
