- Some clips from the 24 by 50 foot SGMA modular layout that was run at Fall York 2021 - many unique and rare trains are running, including many hand built one of a kind.
Very cool. Didn’t realize how diverse and modern Standard Gauge has gotten.
Only got glimpses of it, but holy cow that T1 Duplex is beautiful. I didn’t know I needed a tinplate T1 in my life but… wow. Stunning piece, and some other great stuff too!
My all time favorite gauge...I call them cartoon trains, especially the prewar and 40's...I like my track clean but all of my standard gauge stuff is old and sweaty.....mechanically excellent but used and loved...I'm 73 years old and the first set that was given to me Christmas of 1955 I still own to this day ....
Looks like you guys had a busy show Great engines !!
Oh man, we had a blast. Lots of great trains, lots of good friends. We will be setting up at Spring York 2023, unfortunately in the Purple Hall and not Orange.
I wish you guys were closer Such is life.
You folks had a great layout at York!
Everything about it was fantastic. My wife love all of the colors from the pre-war era. Thanks for being there!
We all had more fun that grown adults should be able to have - especially me - thanks for stopping by - we will be back!

Beautiful Lionel trains
Hi Jim, the EF1 has a brush assembly/commutator failure in one of it's motors and can't run right now. I am in the process of narrowing down what the actual problem is. Otherwise she is doing fine and being well cared for. It's fun to see her in action.
that 2-4-4-4 looks gourgeous!
Thanks so much. The craftsmanship of Norm Beaver. He made several of the unique trains shown running
That GG1 looks like a John Daniels Line production from the late 1970's. Hard to tell since it goes by so fast and the lighting is a bit dark. The GG1 we had did not run well as it had rubber band belts so you can imagine how poorly they pulled. The coaches were heavy too, made of the same material as the locomotive, heavy plastic.
Thanks for the comment. A couple of us have Daniels GG1,s. This one has a cast aluminum shell, more closely resembles the Lionel GG1 in O, and uses 2 widened Lionel F3 drives.
@@watermaj oh wow. Not a Daniel's then. I'd like to see a scale GG1 in standard gauge, that would be something.
@@ralphmiller2265 I build scale length GG1's in standard gauge - if you go to 13:48, you'll see one sitting on the layout, not a great shot, but mine are all metal and 30" long. 12 wheel dual motor drives.
@@ralphmiller2265 I build scale sized standard gauge GG1s - you can see it running at 7:15
that Bi polar is perfection
Awesome!
Other than at huge auditoriums, how do people run this "scale" at home?
My home layout is a modest 8 by 16 feet, made up of 8 modules, 3 tracks, I have a bunch of tinplate scenic accessories scattered around it. Not huge, but with 87" curves on the outside, I can run large locos and pretty good size consists.
Standard layouts are boring but wow nice trains though
