Large scale trains are offered in a variety of proportions, from 1:20.3 to 1:32, but they all run on no. 1 gauge track (13⁄4” between the rails). Bob and Rose Ann Bell use 1:20.3-proportion trains on their Crescent Canyon RR garden railroad. George Hall photographed the road’s 2-6-0 leading a three-car freight over a scratchbuilt wood trestle.
