Howdy Mr Smith,
Are you sure this toy is S scale? I bought one a couple of years
ago to make a stocking holder for Christmas. To mount it to the base
I used S-helper track. For the model/toy to fit on the track I had
to cut it down the middle and spread it about a quarter of an inch.
The split was covered with fake snow. After adding a couple of trees
I had a stocking holder I was proud of. I know in the 1800s a lot of
roads at the time had wider track gauges. Taking this into acount I
guess this toy could be pure S scale. I would imagine all rolling
stock and track would need to be customized for a wider guage. From
what I have seen is most people who model the 1800s want to do it in
narrow guage. I would be interested in seeing your future work.
