Synopsis

This HO scale train collection was one of the largest & most diversified HO collections in the world. It was meticulously assembled over a 35-year period. Unlike Lionel & American Flyer trains, commonly referred to as "tinplate," HO trains are absolute scale replicas of the prototypes, or real trains. HO actually means "Half O" so they are exactly one half the size of O-Gauge trains. HO gauge cars & engines are 100% accurate in all details. This collection consists of nearly 2,000 HO scale passenger cars arranged in about 115 individual trains, each pulled by suitable diesel, steam or electric motive power. It is a treasure trove of Americana & the history of the tremendous quality of both the Japanese & Korean industrial bases. Full-color photos.
