Hi all,
A friend came by today to run some trains and brought his latest venture into 7/8ths scale, a critter and some cars.
We couldn't resist bringing out some 1:20 to run along with it and it worked pretty well. I took a few pictures and in
the last one you can see the twoscales together, perspective is a great thing.
Crossing the Clear Creek Bridge, the wheel on the boxcar brake staff clears the bridge cross member by about 1/2 inch. The bottom of the cross member
is 11 inches above rail head.
Just my opinion but I think he has done a beautiful job of building and weathering these cars and critter. The Critter and car kits are a product of
Gary Watkins at Sierra Valley Enterprises. See here if your interested http://www.sierravalleyenterprises.com/ No connection other than
satisfied customers.
Just a railfan shot
Here H & H's number 28, Joyce, runs out the mainline as my ol' Shay # 7 switches some cars on the siding. Pretty hard to tell
the difference in scale I think.
Thanks for your time.
