G scale equipment (brand new)

[The Birmingham train spotter]

Recently a close family friend contacted me about his uncle. His Uncle is huge into the model railway hobby but has had too reduce his collection of OO, O, N and G gauge trains. All of the unwanted items have been gifted too me! More too come but here was what I was given.

G stuff can be fun. The best thing about it is its quiet. A simple back yard track can be really pleasent.

Being intended to represent 1000mm (metre gauge), G is very close to 1067mm (3'6" gauge). Close enough to fudge.

 

There is indeed some Japanese G Scale but it's very rare and home made.

 

I think you could use the American outline stuff from this collection to model a very early Hokkaido railway based on the HTTK or suchlike. Only redecorating would be needed to make the models more or less represent imported American equipment of Meiji/Taisho days.
