Hi Ya'll! This might be old hat to some of you, but I am having a blast! I have partially created two of four wall scenes and provided links if you are interested in having a look see. First three are the items I found to create the one wall scene. These items were manufactured by a company called Burwood in 1975. They are 50 years old and fit perfectly into my old west theme. Fourth link shows them mounted to the wall. Fifth link is a video. Sixth link is a backdrop for one wall. I was blessed enough to have this view from my back yard for 14 of the 24 years I lived in Arizona. It is the Superstition Mountains.

Thanks Greg, I contacted the seller and provided him with a G scale ratio chart for his reference and suggested he list the figures ratio in the "G" scale drop down list. Holding my breath! 🤣😁

Sorry, the Hobo measures about 3 1/4 inches, not 3 1/2, so at 1:22.5 puts him at 6 feet. I like my Hobo, size and appearance! The cowboy is going to be a shelf sitter!
Thanks for everyone's input!

Hi Yard Master, no the dropdown menu only says "G" scale. If you scroll down it is stated they are designed by 3DP Miniatures. If you go to their site, I see multiple scales (1:24, 1:25, 1:18 and a few more. My Hobo is about 3 1/2 inches high. If you were able to stand the Cowboy up, he is at about 3 inches. My Hobo looks more authentic to the scale although maybe a little more cartoonish. He is Woodland Scenics.

Hi Ya'll! My daughter bought me a "G" scale cowboy I was to use on my G scale train layout stagecoach. I have a G scale Hobo that rides on the back of my caboose, and as you can see from the picture in the link the cowboy is considerably smaller. The seller (eBay of course) said to my daughter "Our resin figures are computer designed, proportionally accurate scale models. Many of the figures you buy are not. You definitely received the correct size." Just wanted to know the groups thoughts on this. It was inexpensive enough, but if it is misleading, the guy should be called out on it. Thanks!

Wow, some really cool methods on there. Thanks!

Hi Y'all, what do you recommend to keep track clean by hand without making a mess? Scotch Brite or something similar maybe? I ordered some conductive oil to apply afterwards. Thanks!

Hi Ya'll, I am a G scale guy but would like to have a small N scale layout. When an N scale set says it is 34 x 24, does that mean it will fit on a table that size? I want to put it on a sofa table. Thanks!

Wow Bill, most impressive both you and your son! That snowplow is insane! Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what this forum needs, I think everyone would really enjoy seeing the hard work, dedication and vision of their fellow enthusiasts!

You have to go to the main page and choose "New Topic" for members of the forum to see your post 

Thanks much Bill. I will reach out to you and the forum when I get the other set running should I encounter the speed issue. I am certain y'all will have a solution Sure would like to see other members layouts, is there a special section to do that? Thanks!

Hi Ya'll! Home tasks have seriously been hindering my fun train time! Since last post, I have acquired a better power supply (USA Trains Train Power 4) and have attached and been running my two animated stock cars and the caboose. I have added a remote control to the caboose to operate the sound box, interior light and Hobo light on the back. Has been running great without incident, however like a nervous father, I never take my eyes off it! I have provided a link if you are interested, one loop around. Still in the planning stages as far as scenery and addons. I think my next step is to add my other loco with a few cars opposite this one and have them both looping at the same time. Better get eyes in the back of my head!

Thanks to you as well Loco Bill! Your encouragement and insight are very valuable to all on this forum!

Thanks Greg! I ordered some weights (4oz each) for my boxcars to place over each axel. I think you are spot on regarding your previous suggestion. I really appreciate the input from this forum.
