Marek Mountain Railroad
The indoor Gn3 model railroad of Frolin Marek in San Antonio, Texas
This page will feature photos and information on the various equipment I use on my layout.
Today, you can see a some examples of equipment on the layout:
- LGB Mogul
- Sunset Brass C-16's
- scratch Std Ga SW-1
- scratch Std Ga gon
- kitbashed 0440 mallet
The Sunset engines are the only correct 1/22.5 scale, commercially made engines for Narrow Gauge on LGB track. Made about 25 years ago, about 500 were made, I have three.
The Standard Gauge switcher and gondola are also in 1/22.5 scale, both are scratch built.

What is “G scale” vs. what is “G gauge”. A comparison of 1/22.5 and 1/29 scales. |
Correct scale for "G" is 1/22.5 ratio. Trains often run on "G gauge" track, which is used by other scales, like 1/20.3 (called F), 1/29, 1/32, and 7/8.
Most brands run on Gauge 1/G track, often called "LGB track".
My railroad will feature "dual gauge" to show true "standard gauge" in 22.5, which uses Gauge 3 track.
