  another design for automated points
 
Hello everybody, Based on what I saw after reading Chris Masi's post on his automated points creation ((URL) I began to do some thinking of my own and came up with a design for automated points which are controlled with a Bar code Unit. I used a (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Gauge is -nothing- to do with scale. The proof can be had with N scale (or 2mm scale, if you use UK conventions) Why? Because, 2mm scale, Standard gauge, works out to 9.42mm track gauge. Not 9mm. So, if you are running you "scale" 1/148th (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Scale - it's all in the aspect ratio
 
(...) No. We know that most of _continental europe, the UK and North America_ are 4-8-1/2". However, there is a lot of narrow gauge stuff around, and a fair amount of broad gauge too. All of Russia is 5' something. Africa is mostly 3'6", Australia (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

These data are from a handbook of TRAIN model, you will see the gauge is not only by width between rail, also by scale of model. Zhengrong Type Width of Rail Scare in Japan in USA in Europe in UK 1 45mm 1/30 1/32 1/32 1/32 O 32mm 1/45 1/48 1/45 (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Stop the 8 Wide Insanity!
 
Okay, I am going to cease and desist on the topic of 8 wide, maybe forever, if all you naysayers would just consider this: -8 wide is no different in scale than 6 wide-- same minifig, same track. -8 wide is plain and simply 6 wide plus a row of 1xs (...)
