Hi Charley
Thanks for more great photos !
Looks like you're dusting 'the lint' out of those zip-drives...
&
...STRIKIN' 'THE MOTHER LODE' !!!
( don't want too much 'lint' about...
...can ruin a good paint-job ! )

Charley, I was just looking at some of your pictures again.
I now see ( I think ) that the ones I was asking about the figures in; look a bigger scale than 1/2".
Maybe SM32, 16mm 2ft ?
Was judging this by the size of the AA batterys on your bench.
You just mentioned 1:32 as well.
Just reading between the lines...
...It seems to me you may have built in a larger-scale...
...& then maybe 1:32...
...and now your current project/scale is 1/2"n18.
Just trying to work out what I'm looking at.
Can you post the size of the scale & track with your photos...
...as you said some of your photos are from quite a long time-span.
Hope that makes sense.
Cheers
Si.

Hi again Charley
Yeah...
...I have swapped around in scales quite a bit.
1:48 1:24 even 1:12 !
I am now looking at 1:32 1:35
Now just returning to an interest in modeling...
...I am trying to work out what scale/prototype combination, will work for me now.
I have a bunch of 1:32 automobile models, so know this size for figures, but not yet for trains !
Cheers
Si.

Si , fellers..
I think each section is one scale or the other...The two lokeys.."Valhalla and Mizpah " are halfinch..the others are 1 : 32...for the most..?..
The SLM figgers are good enough to be known as halfinch scale..the others...the grey frnch guys..the guy with the flag..are 1;32 nd...
Hope that helps..
