Actually, yes. Not for me though. I could really care less. But for many of
the others in "G scale", "Large scale" or whatever, they really get their noses
out of joint over it. And when they explain their reasoning I see their point
but still can't get myself to get worked up over it.

WOW! Talk about sensitive subjects! I've always modeled my Lego trains to
Lego train scale, but about a year and a half ago, one of my G scale friends
saw my Lego trains and asked me if anybody modeled Lego in G scale. Not
knowing that that was an "unmentionable" subject, and not knowing the answer, I
asked the question on a Lego forum on Yahoo I think, and was just about flamed
out of existance. So I'm suprised to see you mention it. I thought it was a
huge "no-no" along with cutting brick?
> (I utilize G scale track, trucks and couplers)
Exactly why I was told that it was a "non" topic. Using G scale trucks
violated the "sanctity of Lego brick" or something. But someone at that time
did refer me to your pics so I've seen that car before. Good job.
With that being said, I model European which leaves me with LGB at 1:22.5.
Aster is too expensive along with some other smaller German manufacturers. And
I really don't like Marklin Maxi. Its okay.

You can see my website at: http://www.usinternet.com/users/krdokken. All the
pics are really high res scans. If you're on dialup the download time is long.
I've gotten complaints about the high res of my pics. But they are my pics.
I might fix the problem sometime in the future, but then again. I might not
