Get Ready as we have a great show lined up with a pretty remarkable guest on an all new Large Scale Live, Tonight January 25, 2026 at 7:00 PM Eastern! That guest of course is Evan Greis, who is not only an aspiring large scale modeler but also an inspiring one at that! They will be learning a little about Evan (or a lot, who knows how many questions they might have! lol) some of his previous 3D Printing/Design projects and new ones he’s working on. By the end of the show Evan will have inspired you as well! We will also have the latest news, updates, and more (Including more updates on the combined 2026 Great Lakes Large Scale Train Expo and Midwest Garden Railroad Gathering www.greatlakestrainexpo.com) from the world of large-scale trains on Large Scale Live!

I found a 5 piece set of the original brand new MTH One-Gauge Union Pacific Passenger Cars for sale. These are the ribbed side version first cataloged in 2003/ 2004? Set 70-65003 is the 3-car coach set, 70-67003 is the extra coach car, 70-68003 is the observation car.

Looking great! Don't ever worry about being off-topic here.

The Great Lakes Large Scale Train Expo and Midwest Garden Railroad Gathering have come together for 2026 to create a bigger, more dynamic experience for everyone in the large‑scale railroading community. This partnership brings the best of both worlds into one coordinated event—combining the depth and camaraderie of the Gathering with the energy and excitement of the Expo. By joining forces, we’re able to offer: A full Five days of activities, giving attendees more reasons to travel and stay. A seamless experience where Gathering registrants automatically enjoy full access to the Expo without needing a separate ticket. More value for vendors, exhibitors, and attendees, thanks to increased foot traffic, broader programming, and a unified promotional effort. A stronger regional event that highlights every corner of the hobby—from hands‑on clinics and private layout tours to shopping, displays, and demonstrations. A welcoming, community‑focused environment where newcomers, families, and longtime hobbyists can all find something to enjoy. Bringing the Expo and Gathering together allows us to celebrate the hobby on a larger scale, support our vendors and hosts more effectively, and create a memorable experience that reflects the passion and creativity of our community. 2026 is shaping up to be something truly special—and we’re excited because it’s going to be GREAT seeing everyone Gathered there!

Hello !! still waiting for wheels (Santa on vacation 😜 ) and markings in progress .

I like the detailing. Looks great from here!

Interesting date of 2004 on the cab roof....wonder why they never made it?

Whoa I believe it sold for like 726 or near. Add 20% plus shipping. Someone wanted this prototype! I missed the end of the auction. Really cool. I wonder what was inside it?

We hope EVERYONE is ready for an all new Large Scale Live this Sunday 12/28/25! We have a great show lined up with some special guests as well! Kris & Charlotte Dixon will be with us to catch up with everyone, share what's new, and what's happening in the world of Melovetrains.

Interesting! You know, I do recall them saying they had a new steamer developed at one point but never saw it.

I picked this one up on 12/24 😀 Now we even get ribbons...though they cut them way too short!

Hmm!!

Have a safe warm and fun time!

You bet I remember those Triplex's blowout prices! I also remember St. Aubin selling the Aristo Dash-9 for $180...Now Trainworld is at $1050...wow! All in all it's been a good year with MTH as I got those new F3's, a bunch of flatcars and now these Es4400's...not bad for a company that is going "out of business"!

Just around the corner 🙂
