The MrPictovid RU-vid channel is all about model railroading featuring videos of N, HO, S, O and G scale trains with a few real trains mixed in. Our goal is to promote the hobby of model railroading and get more people interested so our hobby can keep thriving and growing.
There is no such thing a G gauge. G scale uses 1 gauge tracks, along with several other scales. This is one time when the difference between scale and gauge is very important to be aware of.
I agree that it was very important to specify due to the difference between gauge and scale. That's why I said g gauge referring to the gauge of the track and not the scale of the trains. G Gauge isn't exactly correct but more people search for g gauge than 1 gauge. However, this is also why I say "Large scale" as it encompasses mostly all the scales that operate on 1 gauge/g gauge track.
@@MrPictovid I like your explanation but it is unfortunately more complicated than that. The locomotives you show are standard gauge, American, modern diesel locomotives. For them to run gauge 1 track they are most likely in scale F, 1:20.23, while scale G is 1:22.5
Yet it gets more complicated than that because the majority of what's in that video is 1/29 scale although there is some 1/24 and 1/32 pieces mixed in. Unfortunately you'll never get everyone to agree on the answer. I'm hoping you at least enjoyed the video though.
@perha45 not quite accurate. 'G' scale is a catch all for everything running on 45mm track, but as you say within that the actual scale depends of what 100% the track gauge one is reprecating.. cheers Andrew running 1.20.3 depicting 3' n/g America west form around the turn of the century [not 20th of course].
You complain about a layout, let's see yours. It's their layout, they're happy with it and so am I. It is a pleasure to watch and enjoy. As I tell modelers at the shows. "It's your layout, make it the way YOU want too".
Well, "best" is subjective but here are some excellent places to buy large scale trains from. www.rldhobbies.com/ www.reindeerpass.com/ www.melovetrainz.com/ www.shopstarhobby.com/ uplandtrains.com/
Magnificent catches of the model trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars. Thumbs up. Keep up the perfect work, my friend, i just liked and subscribed your channel, Greetings from Portugal to the USA.
One of my favorite places ever. I was literally shaking when I first went as a little kid. I still have my t shirt I'll always wear each year going to lakeside. Thank you for the memories.
Nice layout you have there, it looks like a lot of fun to operate. I'm trying to get mine to the track laying stage. From hot weather in Southern Nevada and lack of time it's taking longer than I like. Thanks for sharing your awesome video. 👍🏻 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Love it. Thank you for another nice video. If you can tell Piko if they would make battery and r/c sound mogul it be a hit and g scale is dying for such a thing. They could keep their lead and it be would be wonderful for the growth if the hobby. And you could expand it into the piko euro models and anything else too. Time is ripe for it.
@robertravena everything you see in this particular stream were projects our guest Shane was working on. I thought he said in the stream what he used but I honestly don't remember now. You should be able to get a hold of him through his website canadianrailroads.ca/
