Thanks for the track numbers everyone, I will refer to it as L-gauge or LEGO
gauge, but it will be nice to have some hard fast number to throw out also.

Kit-bash and Scratch are terms I've used with them before, even though we
still have different ideas of Scratch.

Anyone have any idea of the curve radius?

I wanted to say we don't "kit-bash" but "scratch" build, but I have seen
modified Metroliners, Train Stations.... so, we do both!

As for guage, I tell the story that "L" guage was determined by the • original
LEGO wheel set back in the 1960's. The track is spaced such that a • standard
wheel set (using 2x2 wheels on a 2x4 axile brick) rolls on it. Of course
this is the 4.5 volt days but this still holds true on 9v.
