(...) How about Finescale L and Coarsescale L gauges :) Seriously tho I think L-gauge would be suitable for both, it only refers the track gauge, not the scale, and as they are the same... Tim (20 years ago, 17-Aug-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Hi guys, Great to hear the announcements about LEGO factory at Brickfest. I have a question though: If someone takes my design and enters it at the LEGO factory, is there any avenue for me to protest about it? Especially if a design is very popular (...)
