Though, that green heavyweight is tempting...

I haven't seen one in person so I can't say though.

I converted 2 of them to run. There are other that are available if someone wants to try them;

They are definitely bigger than HO. Not sure exactly how close to S but the feeling I got was that there was real potential for S-on-a-budget with these.

Randy, didn't you have a comparison pic with HO somewhere?

My favorite wasn't in these latest link, but it's that funky steam tender that gets my imagination running.

I guess I was wrong. I thought there was a comparison of the toy Hopper with an HO hopper.

If it's still around the next time we do a trade I'll go for that container car flat. I'd like to do a comparison pictures with figures and shipping containers in both HO and 28mm (1/56). Could be useful for both my railroad and wargaming blogs.

Above and beyond Randy. Thanks!

Standard width for a container is 8 feet. Someone should check my numbers but at about 11 HO scale feet wide the container is darn close to 1/56 scale.

Looking at the other pictures I think you've confirmed for us that these "Fenfa" trains are indeed approximately S scale! With new couplers and trucks it looks like S scale now has a real budget option.

newbieho: Just saw that you guys were experiencing hot weather. I was in Singapore from July 15th through the 29th and had beautiful weather there. Between 80 and 90....at night, and 90 and 99 in the day....and about 100% humidity. Hot... Aug 7, 2024 5:42:15 GMT -5

newbieho: Jerry, now you tell me! You could have saved me a bundle which I could have used for trains instead of airfare! Aug 13, 2024 20:49:27 GMT -5
