3-Rail Scale Model Trains

3-Rail Scale is model railroading in O scale that strives to achieve the most true-to-prototype realism possible with locomotives, rolling stock, paint schemes, scenery, operation, and other aspects of the hobby, while still using 3-rail O gauge track. This includes the use of scale (Kadee) couplers, and other modifications that make the model as close to prototypical as possible.
