I only bring up scale because of the track gauge issue. I think trains built 8
wide compared to 6 wide "look" better. More realistic? Kinda. I just want my
trains wider than a snowmobile. I want my trains to be able to seat 2 figs
across. I think it's better, but I wouldn't say "it is better"....well, not
without good-natured kidding going on;-)
So I wouldn't say talking about scale is a waste of time, just sharing POVs:-)

Ok. point taken :-)
Perhaps what I mean is, there is no ultimate answer to the 'What Scale
Is Lego?' question. Perhaps it deserves a FAQ entry. Perhaps there is
one already. :-)

Ahh, if you phrase it "What scale are LEGO trains?",a question the GMLTC hears
constantly at train shows, the answer is a quick "L" scale (the GP isn't savvy
enough to handle "MF";-) What scale it approximates with respect to model
railroading is debate fodder in NGs:-)

I suppose Lego trains could be L6 for 6 wide and L8 for 8 wide. Anybody else
want to start a Lego Train Scale naming convention?

How about just AR - artistically right.

Neither are most Lego fans. I mention Minifigs to people buying Lego
at work and they give me a blank look. It's kinda sad actually. =/
