Funny that you should mention JS and trains, because I did some preliminary
calculations on his size and have determined that he is the perfect scale for
the LEGO track gauge, if you wanted to simulate standard gauge (4' 8.5").

That would mean that the LEGO trains would need to be......10 WIDE!!!{:^D
Woo-Hoo, a new width to model!!! (That's figuring that 1 stud = 1 foot)

Putting 10 wide on my to-do list,
John

I noticed the new JackStone sets in a toy shop and thought that the vehicle
cabs could be used on trains.  They are six studs wide and would give a nice
curved front to a train.  They are available in red and yellow.  They look
as if they can be turned though 90 degrees to give different height/lengths.

Has anyone got one and tried them out?

They are in sets 4609 fire engine (red), 4606 Aqua-Res-Q (yellow) and 4607
Res-Q copter & tansporter.

(...) I don't have a Jack Stone figure, but aren't they two studs wide? If they are two studs wide and 1 stud equals 1 foot, then that is one WIDE butt. Chris (23 years ago, 30-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)
