I wish they made this train in O-Gauge.

That would be a cool O-gauge train!

Love it.
Always amazed how the other scales manufacturers can come up with new molds to produce so many new models of trains and rolling stock so often. Now compare that to "O" were we settle so much on just paint and decals to represent something new from generic molds.
I wish new manufacturers would come into "O" with new never before items offered engines and rolling stock. I'm sure they would find an open market.

That is a fine model and yet another classic BCC unboxing. I've never had anything N scale but I do have some HO which I'll showcase at some point next year as a couple of the things I have are intricate and well-engineered to the point that most O gauge is honestly put in the shade. One them is a Marklin 3rail AC powered Trans-Europ Express. This is shown about halfway through the video - meanwhile you can admire what I think is a German version of the sort of countryside scene Euro modellers do. There's no narration in this video but mostly the scenery and trains speak for themselves. The Marklin set has several sound effects and lighting but unfortunately you can't hear any of the former except for the Diesel engines and that's very muted in the large surroundings. That's an issue with small scale trains for me except if you are right over them on a tabletop.
Whoops - put the wrong video in to start and had to delete it!

That would be very cool, but one would likely need super-elevated curves, something I've no space for. I'd like one of these, the McKeen motor car:  Seen here in one of my favorite places, La Jolla, California, a very long time ago. |

That's cool, Emile. At least we O gaugers have the speed potential - a couple of postwar drives and you have 200 mph!

Forum member trainguyken (who I haven't seen post for a while) did a 3d-printed McKeen and trailer. o-gaugeforum.com/thread/7188/printed-mckeen-cars-featuring-powerDave

That's pretty neat...thanks for posting the link. There were at least a couple hand-crafted in standard-gauge: McKeen sets |
