  Re: Scale - it's all in the aspect ratio
 
(...) Wouldn't LEGO models look more like wide gauge trains? If they were narrow, the trains would have to be the size of G scale (although something tells me we are not on the same page here). Example: If I wanted to model, say 30" gauge, I would (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
 
  Re: Hypothetically Speaking...
 
(...) 8 wides will be more expensive. Even if height remains the same - and based on the 8-wides constructed so far within the GMLTC that's not necessarily the case - you're still expanding the footprint by 1.33 * 1.33 = 1.75 area increase, and (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Stop the 8 Wide Insanity!
 
(...) Correction, 8 wide is the same gauge but either represents stock proportionally larger to the gauge or is a different "scale". However there is no "LEGO scale" so your assertion is technically of null semantic content. But, as this imprecision (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

  Re: Need some help with some Train specs
 
(...) 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)

  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 (...)
