In one of my previous posts I mentioned that I had given up on HO scale, because of the space requirement for running prototypically long trains. My attic just was not large enough. Running an HO scale ICE 4 just looked ridiculous. N scale seemed to be the answer. However I quickly realized that I neither had the patience, nor the dexterity to deal with something this minute. It was no fun. And once a hobby ceases to be enjoyable, why bother?
As I was packing up some of my N scale items for sale, I found a starter set of the Berliner TT Bahnen company in one of the attic corners. It consisted of an East German type steam locomotive and four two axle freight cars, with a small track oval. The set must be at least forty years old. I vaguely remember buying it in New Hampshire, while on vacation, sometime around 1995. It sat quite forlornly in a corner of some hobby shop up there. Apparently nobody was interested in this kind of thing and the shop owner just basically gave it to us. In any event, I started to set up the track oval and it slowly began to dawn on me that this might just be the model train size I am looking for. For more info, please go to:
