Amarillo Yard

1943

This is a good staring picture. Hard to believe that this picture, taken by Jack Delano in 1943 is as old as it is. I always thought the 1940’s were in black and white.

Here is a large version, Amarillo Yard – large version that reveals lots of detail.

Found at Shorpy

Z scale Narrow Gauge

Zn3, really small.

A set of HO scale wheels straddling a Z scale narrow gauge #6 code 40 turnout. The track gauge here is a mere 3/16″ (.187 4.75mm)  .177″ (4.5mm)

This is the smallest fixture we produce at Fast Tracks and I have always wanted to build one of the turnouts. The entire thing will fit on my thumb…
