I have a HO club friend who has 1.6" on his property and also is a machinist by trade with a large machine shop. This is the only scale he works in. I spent a Saturday a few months back helping him fix some track and then running his trains. I got hooked 
. I spent some time looking around at what's out there in this scale looking for a much larger project but ended up with everything I need to build one of the Discover Live Steam Galloping Geese. He's helped me with some welding and showed me how to use one of his mills so I could make a couple of aluminum brackets. Here a couple of pictures. of my progress.
This was just before we test ran it with a riding car.
Disassembled, sandblasted and primed.
