Good question, I don't know how other scales measure their radius. I just get the question a lot at shows. I guess I could just measure all three and that way I'm set either way. I'll do that in the morning, I'm too tired from sorting this evening. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks for the track numbers everyone, I will refer to it as L-gauge or LEGO gauge, but it will be nice to have some hard fast number to throw out also. Kit-bash and Scratch are terms I've used with them before, even though we still have different (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) That was my initial thought, but in the photos, the curvature of the arch appears to vary, (hence it couldn't be curved rails) but it must just be an optical illusion from the lens curvature. As for arches, James Trobaugh's and Reinhard "Ben" (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) But, you see...there is already a 1/2" scale. In fact, there are 2 widely modeled 1/2" scale's (LGB, and 1/2" scale/2.5" gauge) So, it would confuse the issue. I think Lego gauge is best, since it does fit all (offical) lego trains ever made. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

I wanted to say we don't "kit-bash" but "scratch" build, but I have seen modified Metroliners, Train Stations.... so, we do both! As for guage, I tell the story that "L" guage was determined by the original LEGO wheel set back in the 1960's. The (...) (24 years ago, 9-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
