(...) 1:22.5 (...) 1:32. You forgot 1:20.3, 1:24, and a small smattering of 1:30. Also, many more manufacturers than LGB and USA Trains. And many of us "large scalers" don't appreciate the efforts to "codify" our scale names under the NMRA. We like (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Oh, Eric, you mean *14 wide*....>;^D (...) Lar is correct. There isn't even a particular "G" scale, although there is an effort to codify under the term "Large Scale" (LS). G scale can refer to 1:22.5 (LGB), 1:25, or 1:29 (USA). The correct (...) (23 years ago, 25-May-01, to lugnet.trains)
