Remember Ben, *gauge* refers to the distance between the rails, and is not to be confused with *scale*. I don't have any HO or N track lying around so I can't measure, but if someone did we could figure out what the "real world" radius of LEGO track (...) (25 years ago, 14-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)

To all the Train heads out there, I just received the 4533 yesterday, and I think it's screaming for a rebuild. Is this an actual device they use on railways, in the US or Europe? If not, are there pictures of a real one? Any and all help would (...) (25 years ago, 14-Aug-99, to lugnet.trains)
