Hello,
I have been a lurker on the list for quite a while, just never said hello. My
availability to read the list varies as I'm in the Army. 1/64th is the scale
that interests me; my kids have started to show to an interest in the HO
starter set they received last Christmas. Currently located in central Kansas.
We have a very large amount of 1/64th farm equipment and buildings that I'm
thinking could get some double usage. I relatively new to trains had a small
HO set as a kid but nothing more than that, grew up in SW Minnesota around
trains but never paid then much attention.
I'm looking for input on some ideas. I don't have the intention of modeling
any specific train line but would like to have a rural Midwest feel. What I'm
thinking is to do a Sn42?(S equipment on HO track) set up which I think would
give me result that would look ok with the 1/64th items we have already. I
can picture some flat cars with tractors on them, and an old cattle car for
some beef. It would also allow the kids to run the HO stuff we have and any
HO stuff they think looks cool. HO track is readily available in this area. I
`m thinking that I would be able to use some S items, On30 and maybe some
larger HO items to get the look I want. I have found an older list of usable
items from other scales for S on trainweb. Part of this is meant to be a family
fun project and not a pocket book killer.
Does this seem like an achievable project? Has anyone done anything similar to
this? Is there a more up to date list than the trainweb one? Also are there
any S scale modelers in Kansas, particularly the Ft. Riley/Junction City area?
Thanks Chad
