2. After years
of waiting patiently for new track geometry and expansion and always being
told that it’s expensive and will take time, we get new track we don’t
want: All plastic.

...and a committment to L Gauge (and I’m saying L Gauge rather than 9v). As
I mentioned at BF, we’re not replacing the current system (like we have in
the past when switching from 4.5 > 12v or 12v > 9v), we’re “stretching” it
to include additional components.
|
Just to clarify Jake, will you be referring to both (Play and Hobby) as L
gauge? That would make sense to me as they are all the same gauge. But it
might confuse “real” train modellers - when we want to display at a train
show with our L gauge layout, they might think (when Play Trains are
launched) that we mean Play Trains, and turn up their noses (even more than
they do now).
|
Actually, that’s a very good point. I was using L Gauge to refer to anything
that uses the track gauge (distance between rails, obviously) currently used
for both the Play and Hobby trains.
But I don’t pretend to think that I should be defining the usage of L Gauge -
I’d actually turn this question back on the community... what do y’all think?

How about Finescale L and Coarsescale L gauges :)
Seriously tho I think L-gauge would be suitable for both, it only refers the
track gauge, not the scale, and as they are the same...
