You toss around "G Scale" a lot but unlike most other gauges, G isn't
really just one scale. LGB is narrow gauge and thus is to a bigger scale

narrow gauge? Your 14 wide may well be compatible with LL 20 wide if
you're doing Maine 2 footers or something.

| (...) 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 (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.trains)
