> The classic LEGO scale (1 door = 3 bricks high) used by LEGO from 1955-1972 is
> in almost perfect HO train scale.
This fact was hammered home after I did a couple of thinkgs on the weekend.
1. Played with my kids and build another 4-stud wide big rig. Small, realistic,
high vroomability factor.
2. Started sorting my kids LEGO and found selection of Classic windows and
doors in red and yellow.
3. Had a brainstorm and took out a section of old HO track and a boxcar and noticed
that the boxcar was almost exactly 4 studs wide.
This got me to thinking about how neat it would be to hack a cheap loco and
attack it to a 4stud wide plate and make a LEGO train that runs on standard
HO track......
