I heard although can't be sure that LEGOLAND Windsor used G-Scale Track
for their trains - therefore it may be possible that their track width
may be a different size to the size they sell in sets. I'm currently
trying to finish my OO layout in my loft so I have a lot of trackage
information: A company called Peco sells a huge variety of track of
different gauge and has also created a system called Individulay which
means you buy the rails, sleepers and ties separately and build it
yourself - I think it's worth a look.
What is LEGO Gauge anyway, the exact distance between the rails?
