Scales based on wheel base! I had wondered about that too.
I had thought it was a Train reference but was not sure.
I see what you mean with 5571, But is that not a 1:1 and
the others 1:1.33 and 1:1.66 for 8 and 6 wide? Did I miss
something?
Thanks for the pointers, you too Mark.
I think I am going to have to make a list.<grin>
