    Thanks. The Titanic was actually going to go into a set of 3 NTrak modules for railroad shows, but the carpenter has so many orders that the project is on indefinite hold. The RC model is 1/150 and N Scale is 1/160 so the scale would have been close enough for shows, etc. While we have larger ships than the Titanic plying the waters today I don't think most folks realize just how big she was.

    Yes, indeed. That's the Kato SP Daylight Limited. Most of the folks in our club prefer the long cargo consists while I favor the passenger trains, especially steam passenger trains.

    If you want to see her running at a show skip to the 2:50 and 4:30 minute marks of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGnJM3K3dN4
