Healey, I bought some Gargraves track that turned out to be Lionel standard gauge size. 3-rail 2 and 1/8 inches. Do you have any trains that would ride on it?

I wonder if Jon is OK? I sent a note his way and did not get a response (which he usually does). Hope all is well with him!

Thanks for thinking of me, Tramp, but I have a crap-ton of standard gauge tubular track, most of which rarely sees use now. A loop around the Christmas tree is about all that gets used here anymore. Maybe you can return it, or list it on a buy/sell somewhere.

Pete died?



Rufus, I'd like the buy a train to run on the track. BUT I know nothing about standard gauge.

Believe it or not, the tree fell over. I had to completely resurrect it. A lot of broken glass! I was crestfallen. BUT, A Celt never quits.
