The 3/4" project is a is a complete rebuild of our 3/4 high-line for our guests at the 50th meet. When the ILS was founded the first track was the 3/4" which you can see in our history section. Our 3/4" uses 1/2" rail and is dual-gauged for both 3/4" and G operation. We are looking forward to being part of the renewed interest in these smaller scales which offer all the fun of live steam with a lower cost and a more manageable size.
