Commuting in 1:100

[nachoman]

I am sure you have seen the trains in the museum in old union terminal. Perhaps you could interest them in some kind of display depicting this railroad? Building in any weird scale would not be that difficult, so long as you can use track and mechanisms from another scale. But, I would be more inclined to start in a known scale, and then just re-gauge the mechanisms. Re-gauging a few locomotives and cars seems much less work than having to custom make all the accessories - automobiles, street lamps, structures, FIGURES... Since you are talking about pre-1900, you will wind up scratching all the buildings and rolling stock anyway, but I am not sure where you could find 1:100 figures.
