No. 1 Gauge

The most recent addition to our club is a gauge one track (1.766 inches between the rails, 1:32 or 3/8" to the foot is the traditional scale). This gauge has become popular with garden railroad enthusiasts in recent years. Although the trains are too small to ride on, many of them do run on steam! Some steamers use radio control to operate the controls in the cab. At least one track will be electrified to run LGB trains.
