Hi guys, As you can see im new to these forums. So please excuse my lack of model train knowledge. Is that Peasemaker up there G scale. Is G scale the largest scale? Before the the ones a person can actually sit in and ride?
I know I have lots to learn.

dont worry about having lots to learn - we all do. yes, the pacemaker is G scale, the only one i have. yeah, i THINK G is the biggest before the full scale joints, that people ride on. people usually set up G scale in their Garden or outside the house (i.e. Garden scale) G scale is dope but you really need a disposable income lots of time and a considerable amount of land to support a full scale running G scale operation. here is a G scale vid i liberated from another forum to put it in perspective: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Xwq-k6NHI   on average G scale contemporary American deisel power units run about 500.00+ and the rolling stock is around 70.00 - 80.00 +. once you factor in the track and any structures - well you get the point...they should call it D scale for Dream scale.. although LGB makes some reasonable priced sets for around 2-300.00 - if your into the traditional European steam looking stuff. |

yaeh, that's a scale and hobby I can't even touch. I've never seen a layout but it would be fascinating.
G scale is very close to 1/25 - 1/24 scale. This scale is the common model car and PU truck kits you see and some die cast companies make cars in this scale too

looking at the first photo of the work on that bridge is daunting.
