OK, I'll claim it. I've been using this term since late 1997. I first
mentioned this in a post in 1998, http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=46. I
kept getting the "What gauge is this?" question from model railroader's and
I finally just said "L". That of course opened up the oppertunity to have a
converstation about how the gauge got started with the original LEGO wheels
stuck into the side of a 2x4 brick...
