In the late 1950's LEGO introduced a line of vehicles and buildings at approximately 1:87 scale.  We can guess that this scale was chosen to be compatible with many H0 train layouts.  This was the original LEGO "SYSTEM OF PLAY". http://home.comcast.net/~strandee/238/32_page_32.htm http://home.comcast.net/~strandee/238/10_page_10.htm http://www.redshift.com/~shifflett/lego/town_scene/town_scene.html http://www.redshift.com/~shifflett/lego/mursten_1/mursten_1.html H0 trains shown with LEGO in this booklet: http://www.redshift.com/~shifflett/lego/mursten_byggebog/mursten_byggebog.html Hope this helps, Eric Subject:  Re: WANTED!
