I checked when I was at LL CA and I am positive that they are 16 studs. LL
CA uses a different kind of track than LL Windsor or Billund, I believe and
so the scales of one LL train might not match up with another LL train.
I personally will not go to the 16 wide scale for layouts. It is just too
much for a LEGO motor, or group of them, to handle. If I wanted a Garden
Railroad, I would get a G scale train. I want something indoors and that
means Lego 8 wide is about as big as I can get.

| (...) Absolutely. 16 wide is ridiculously wide for LEGO track gauge; it would have to be on G scale gauge. Now Frank, there is no law (yet;) that says one only must build in one scale-- I build a little in minifig (for the GMLTC layout), mostly in (...) (27 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
