I'm guessing here, but something like 2.5" gauge. However, your plan will not
work. The trains are of a fixed length, with drawbars and metal underframes.
Somewhere around here I have a photo of one of them...and the boxcar had been
knocked off the frame by a overeager kid (I guess...I didn't take it off), and
thats how they are put together.
(BTW-if anyone from Ontario is interested- the track at Cullen Gardens is 5",
and the guy on the pump skooter/gandy dancer is my dad's creation...I'd
imagine it is for similar reasons why LLC uses the system it does, that of
reliablity)

| Does anyone know (or bothered to measure) the distance between the rails of the Legoland California trains? Would anyone planning a trip to LLC in the near future be willing to hop the fence and measure? :-) If not, I will do so myself at BricksWest (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.trains)
