Nice work, Harold. You can really see the size of the S scale engine when it's sitting on the "120 ft" turntable.

The "HO" Mantua/Tyco Ten-Wheeler demonstrates the paradox of scales and sizes over the eras of the nineteenth century. The Ten-wheeler matches SP and other drawings that make it an Sn3-1/2 locomotive of the late 1880's. It also scales out as a late 1870's locomotive in 55n3.

The Ten-Wheeler vs a early 1880's mogul in 55n3. It never scaled as an "HO" locomotive.
