Proto48 Modeler
An Online Proto48 modeling journal. Catch the lastest news and listngs of Proto48 materials. Our goal is to continue to offer information about fine model building with an emphasis on Proto48.
The Proto48 movement has been going for nearly 40 years and has gained the respect of many in the model railroading community. We often hear how neat P48 and but I started……… We encourage you to give it a try. You will find challenges to model in the scale but that is part of the fun to solve modeling problems. It is a departure from the current trend of open the box and put the train on the track. While you can use ready-to-run equipment built in China, you will have to change the wheels to run on the 4’ 8 ½” gauge. Once you do that you will find that there are other improvements that can be made to the details and soon you will become hooked. Proto48 is a small movement within the ¼” scale community. We have been around since the 1960’s and continue to support fine model building.
Our focus is on standard gauge modeling. Proto48 defines a gauge and wheel profile for locomotives, cars and track but it also expresses concept of finescale modeling. Our models start out with the correct gauge of 4’ 8 ½” and scale wheel profile and continue throughout the model to create an accurately scaled replica of the prototype.
