| And to come full circle, the width between LEGO track is... the answer you've all been waiting for... two LEGO horses' asses! And the units used are aptly named; studs!

| (...) And remember that gauge is measured as the distance between the rails, not between the centres, so it's a few mm less than five studs. (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.castle, lugnet.space)
