As I had mention a few months ago, I'm preparing a presentation to my local
division of the NMRA on LEGO trains next week. I have most of the
presentaion done, but would like to know if anyone knows the real gauge of
LEGO track. I know it's "LEGO" gauge, but I want to know the real numbers.
Also what is the radius of the track curves? I figure these are some of the
questions I'll get from the members of the division.
If anyone knows of other question that you heard from other train modelers,
let me have them too...preferably with the answers :)
Thanks

| These data are from a handbook of TRAIN model, you will see the gauge is not only by width between rail, also by scale of model. Zhengrong Type Width of Rail Scare in Japan in USA in Europe in UK 1 45mm 1/30 1/32 1/32 1/32 O 32mm 1/45 1/48 1/45 (...) (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
