Wimberley, Blanco & Southern Railroad

[LiveSteamer]

While I was doing a search on youtube, I found a person that has some video from this railroad. I found it to be nice to finally see one of my friends railroad's who I have not seen or talked to for awhile. I can remember when this railroad was started and it is amazing to see how it grew to what it is today. Below are two links to 2 different video's from this backyard railroad.

You're coofroosin me. I think you are getting scale and gauge mixed up. Scale is what size you are modeling. Gauge is the actual distance between the rails. So, I guess you are saying 7 1/2" gauge track? That's pretty big.

[LiveSteamer]

Simply outstanding, Matthew. What gauge track is that?

Rob the scale of the track is 7-1/2 but runs 1-1/2 scale trains on it.

More pictures to follow later on.  Got to find the pictures of the railroad when it was completed.

Simply outstanding, Matthew. What gauge track is that?

Please post more images.

Thanks
