| (...) Well, maybe precise was too exact a term:-) But I figure it like this: I assume a scale of 1:48 (which is "O" scale). O scale model railroad locos are 8 studs wide, but LEGO track gauge is wider than O scale track gauge. So in essence, LEGO (...) (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Exactly what do you mean by 'precise'? I'd love to know. I build loads of IR models that are of this gauge, so any scale conversion (from real world to in the brick) you might have handy would be great for me. I suck at math :-P Legoswami (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Seriously-- why would that be "hard to do"? Aversion to creating wide trains is baffling to me. This MOC could easily be built 9 wide, going by the looks of the prototype, and it would look great at that width! Forget about conventions, Tim. (...)

In addition to this, they're wider than regular stock too. Tim, nice model, a contest winner if I ever (...) (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Hi Lar, Thanks for the comments. It's a wide, wide-gauge train but I just couldn't bring myself to go to seven wide even though the model REALLY needs it. I might be able to squeeze one plate lower (need to check on a brickbuilt version) but (...) (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| (...) Interesting. The prototype seems rather squat (much wider proportionally than your model), can you try to lower the height of this model at all to achieve that look? I like the front pilot/buffers area. (19 years ago, 10-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| Dear all, Continuing my love of building trains from countries off the beaten track I present an Indian EMU. These run as commuter service in Mumbai and other Indian cities.

| (...) My original actually had two gear racks running up the center of the track. I didn't have very many though, so I ended up taking out every other one so that I could make a longer run. I actually did test it with curves. Alternating the pieces (...) (19 years ago, 9-Oct-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
