Railroading

From K-scale to 5 1/4″ and everything in between …

K-scale: 1/1957.5 (self invented – G-scale layout for my mini-shop on my HO layout)
HO-scale: 1/87 (our indoor HO layout)
G-scale: 1/22.5 (our outdoor garden layout)
3 1/2″ and 5/14″, both scales are used on large outdoor tracks, mainly used for live-steam

In this section, you will find more info about our home-made (model)railroad related items, the building of our indoor HO layout, the building of our outdoor G-scale garden layout, and ofcourse our “big” machines, electric and live-steam, in 3 1/2″ and 5 1/4″ …
