Actually, I *tried* running my 14 wides on a G scale layout, but had severe
coupling issues (I had tried to make a half LEGO, half Kadee coupler and it
wasn't strong enough). I have since purchased G scale trucks that come with arms
onto which couplers can be screwed, so that the coupling system is all non-LEGO
(Not very prototypical, but very practical:). Haven't been to a train show since
to try them out, however....
I had only threatened to use the 4 wides-- will do for next show, whenever that
may be....

Well, that's my question..... would 2 wide be N or Z? May have to take a 2x4 to
the local hobby store tomorrow:-)

| (...) to (...) A 2-wide would be N, I believe. Z is quite a bit smaller...1.5 wide-ish, I believe. I've only seen Z once...but its teeeeeny, I have an N set at home. -Tim (26 years ago, 27-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
