Description

"IS IT REAL OR A MODEL?" Santa Fe Observation car # 3215 passes the station house at North Table Creek, NE, station. I attended a Garden Scale [outdoor] model train rally and ran my model reproduction hand-built M190 Santa Fe Doodlebug locomotive and passenger cars this weekend. This is my passenger observation car at night. Lighting is LED, power to the locomotive is battery/Remote control. The little people were added to the car. The scale is 1/32 [Standard Gage - 30 inches long]. This scale is twice the size of 3-rail O-gage Lionel, and four times the size of HO scale trains. There were 120 participants from Canada to Texas, California to NY.

Jim, this is about the coolest pic ever! I'm a huge fan of trains, and was so blown away by this train of your's. Can't get over the reaslitic detailing in this passenger observation car, and the lighting is perfect. Hope you share more of your collection with us soon.

Looked a little stiff to be real, but made since when I read it was a Model Train!

nice photo of a train, knowing 3d software in our day can be mistaken for a photo so I looked carefully I say it is a photo
