| To add to that question, will they have the F4/F5 live steam prototype by then? | |

Just speculation here...more than likley we will see the ride on engine I mean K-36 at ECLSTS. Now, as far as the F4/5 goes, that's probably a doubtful, but who knows?
Now, does anyone have a 1" scale riding car that can be converted to 45mm? A loop of track would be good too...don't want to break any layouts now  | |

| Jay,
IIRC, the multi gauge loop is 1/2" 3/4" and 1" all in one. You could probably find room for ga1 up there...maybe? | |

| Jason / Ryan
The "little" multi gauge loop at PLS is 2 1/2 inch, 3 1/2 inch, and 4 3/4 inch gauges. UNFORTUNATELY they have the switches with the plate steel frog with the flangeways cut in it. I think that would be tough to get over. Good luck.

Good point Jason... 
As far as the size goes... it will be interesting to see what type of clearance problems we may (will) see with this one.  | |
