Famous model railroaders
Who is the most famous person in the most popular scale? Santa
Claus, of course. He’s famous for his HO-HO-HO.
Who’s the most famous person in N scale? It has to be Captain Jean-
Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. He’s always saying, “N-gauge!”
As for the smallest scale, there was that great pioneer in working Z-
scale semaphores, Alexander Graham Bell, who gave us the bi-Z sig-
nal. (In America, “z” is pronouced “zee.”)
We cannot forget the great contribution to fine-scale model railroad-
ing made by women during World War II, collectively known as “Rosie
the Rivet-Counter.”
