This is a link to an HO, yes, HO model railroad! Spectacular is the first thing that comes to mind.

I was in, but then I saw that one cow on that farm that I just couldn't tolerate!

So the only thread that gets any attention here is an HO thread? There has to be a message here.

I've got a fair amount of half zero stuff. Varney 2-8-0's, a Varney (sprung) Super Mikado, two handfuls of F units, Docksiders, NW/SW switcher...some PennLine, lots of old Mantua Mikados, and various other Mantua stuff, John A. English...and cars....Ulrich, Varney, Roundhouse (cast!) even pre-war Varney paper side cars...no plastic.
Doorstops. But they all run.

Sounds like you're jealous. Hint: Post something better!

I am jealous. On the other hand, O Scale is an elite group - we don't need to discuss our hobby.

I too am jealous, but only of the amount of "stuff" available in that gauge.

This thread reminded me that we had a long-running thread by "taycotrains(?)" called "Vintage HO" (or something similar) that was quite interesting. Heck, even I was able to contribute to that one!

Okay. If you insist. I must warn you that I was an HO modeler when I was in grade school, and still have all but a couple in a box. Even worse, I have duplicated most of my favorites in O Scale or 17/64 - the one remaining is the Dockside.
Oh, and so far nobody other than Division Point has produced my favorite drop-bottom gon in O Scale, so all you will get is HO versions - the Ulrich variety.
So next week I shall do the HO photo session. You will be sorry.

PSC did an SP drop bottom gon. Might have been a second road name, but I can't recall.

MG did 2 versions and there were others as well as the recent kit from Glacier Park.
On the other hand, O Scale is an elite group - we don't need to discuss our hobby.
Only in the minds of some - the lack of need is scale indifferent - need does not enter into it at all.
The only reason why there is not more here is because few here actually do any model building.
