Presenting the different model railway scales!

Click on each image for a closer look!

One of our projects for our temporary museum is the development of a display which will show the relative size of a model of a F7 Diesel locomotive in each of the popular model railroading scales. This weekend, we disassembled and prepared the bodies of N, HO and an G Scale units for painting. here we seem them painted with a base coat of flat white paint after having had most of their needed minor repairs and body filling done. Our next tasks to work up some replacement handrails and details and then paint them for display. We do of course also have a 1:1 scale F7 cab as well to compare the models to as shown in the photos.

If know where we can get a model of an F7 in the other scales such as Z, TT, O ,etc. do contact us. It of course does not need to be operational.
