One of our valued members, bwells, posted his birthday to the thread requesting birthday information from our members, but he was not sure about it as he collects HO. It drove home a very important point that the OGF, though it's primary focus is O-Gauge, we welcome members from all gauges as we know we can learn a great deal from one another, no matter what gauge is we collect. In bwells case, of course we will celebrate his birthday as he is a member of the OGF. That is our only criteria for celebrating birthdays.
So no matter what the gauge is you collect, if you would like to be part of the OGF, please register and we will be happy to welcome you as a member. |

I believe that we have several from the different gauges who check in on us to see what's up. I hope that I cleared up the fact that all are welcome.
We are right near the top in a Google search for O-Gauge, so I understand why we are getting more visitors. |

Over the years, starting in "N", I learned a lot from other gauges, HO, S, and yes, O gauge. Now that I have settled into "O" and have a layout, I am still learning and adapting many things from other gauges.
Its the love of trains, real or modeling in scales, that unites us.

HH is making this model that he first saw in a Milwaukee Road Historical Club publication. He later found that Walthers had done a similat model in HO. Makes a good point.

As I always say, each scale is a work of art within itself.....

What a terrific find, Laz. Solves a big problem for folks with a space problem in the house.
The coffee table is incredible, what a work of art. Then to just remove the top to reveal a beautiful layout is unblievable. This is a terrific idea.
I just started a thread about Christmas Tree layouts and are inability to have a trian under our Christmas Tree because to the very active pups. Something like this would work in ourt home. Your have given me a terrific idea and something we will seriously consider. There are many wood craftsmen in our area, so the coffee table could be easily accomplished. The rest Elizabeth and I could do.
Thanks for the post. It deserves a separate thread if you are so inclined. The idea is that good. |

That is cool! Much harder to do in O. I love seeing creative layouts of all scales.
