Up_Up_and_Away Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 When I was a kid, I think the Garden of Marvels must of had an influence on me. My "other" hobby outside of GAH is G-scale trains. Holy crap! Is G scale stuff easy to come by? Looking back on trips to hobby shops, I recall N, HO and O gauges...

29yrswithaGApass Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Holy crap! Is G scale stuff easy to come by? Looking back on trips to hobby shops, I recall N, HO and O gauges... G-scale really gained in popularity over the last 10 years or so but it is hard to find in most typical hobby shops. There are about six major retailers of G in the US so online/mail order is the easiest way to find something. Unfortunately, LGB just went out of business last year so that complicates things. They have since been acquired by Marklin trains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CablesEric Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Congratulations Eric on what is probably the shortest correct answer yet! I must admit, it felt odd leaving such a short answer, but I could not think of anything relevant to add. I guessed G because my father and I have looked at them for adding them around his pond and typically G scale is the only scale made for outdoor use.

PaulieGBones Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I go with av8r296 that it was for the Safari tour vehicles. False. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 ANSWER: The answer is TRUE! When designed, the center lane of the three lane Safari roadway was intended for the exclusive use of the Safari wardens. However, it became hard to enforce due to the high volume of cars that visited the park as well as guests crossing over from side to side.

29yrswithaGApass Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Road Runner Railway? ANSWER: Road Runner Railway opened in the spring of 1999 as part of the War On Lines collection. Playing it cautiously, the park removed the ride in the fall after an incident involving a different Zamperla coaster in Ocean City occurred in late August. An even safer Railway reappeared on opening day 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
