and also of many different extensive layouts. Bonus: Q&A blog
The Oregon Electric O-Gaugers Train Club of Albany, Oregon also has members in Corvallis, Lebanon, Salem, Eugene and other cities around the Willammett Valley. This year we participated in the Benton County Fair. Everyone enjoyed this interactive Set-Up! The Exhibit Hall was transformed into miniature worlds, complete with Trains of many scales, multiple tracks, noisy trains, and much more. We also set up at the April train swap at Lane County Fair Grounds, and in October at Corvallis Library . Check our YouTube link for videos of all this...
What’s an O Gauger ? .. A person who enjoys running or collecting
O Gauge trains ( or O Scale)….. So …..
What’s an “O-Gauge” train ?…… Think of the Lionel trains of the 40’s and 50’s, but a slightly larger size…..
Most of our trains are O or O27, which both run on the same width 3 rail track. O27 is so named because its full circle of track has a 27” diameter. It is also the size of the original Lionel trains. The taller track for O generally is 31” to 72” full circle diameter, but the distance between the inside and outside rails is the same as O27, so the smaller O27 stock can run on the O track.
The most popular Scales are N, HO, S, O27, O, and G, (or Large Scale). They are special mathematical ratios to the real (prototype) trains.
Below is the same locomotive in six different scales, measuring just 2 3/4" long in Z scale up to a whopping 20 3/4" long in large (G) scale. Each represents a real 50 foot locomotive in the scale. This information is from World’s Greatest Hobby website. http://www.greatesthobby.com/
