Standard gauge trains were the premium toy/model trains in the interwar period, big, bold and tough. These have become quite the collectors items and a few of us are proposing that we form a Standard gauge running group using loose lay track and not, initially at least, a modular group. The idea is that we try out running these bold trains at shows and/or in retirement communities to see what the public reception is, understanding that these original trains may well predate the audience.

The BIG question is, are there any of you NMRA/PNR/4D members interested in participating with your Standard gauge trains and/or accessories in this exciting endeavor? If so please write to Ed Ives at Gresley7@gmal.com and do it soon, please.
