A search of lugnet trains didn't get far so and excuse me if this has been discussed before. What scale have people used when building G scale trains? I understand the following are common: 1:32 1:29 1:22.5 All of which run on the same size G scale (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jul-01, to lugnet.trains)

(...) John Neal might be off-line for a few days, he's attending a wedding this weekend. Otherwise, I'm SURE we'd hear him chirp up on this subject! Last week at our GMLTC 'meeting' I suggested that he build 50-wide trains as a *joke*. He thought it (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.trains)
