MODEL TRAINS & LAYOUTS IN Z, N, TT, HO, S, & O SCALE!!!

Most model railroaders focus on one main scale and build their "empire" in that scale. I was introduced to O scale as a three-year old and loved my Lionel and Marx trains. Around the age of ten, I discovered HO scale. I dug a ditch around our home, two drainage pits, and filled it all in with stones to earn $20 to buy my first Lionel HO steam engine. My interest in model railroading waned in high school and college as I focused on academics and athletics. In 1990, I saw an N-scale train set for the first time and my love of model railroading reignited. In the decades that followed, I began to build and sell layouts in a diversity of scales, learning the virtues and drawbacks of each scale. In this video, I discuss and show some of the trains and layouts I've acquired or built in diverse scales, before turning attention to a new scale that I've begun to work with this year!
