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. =/
