  Re: from RTL ... a roundhouse
 
Thanks Larry for posting this (old) news! The Roundhouse is now finished, but there are still no real good pics of the turntable online. Since we start a train event in Brunswick/Germany between X-mas and New Years Eve, we want to have some (...) (27 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)

As everyone says, it's minifig scale, BUT if you had to chose the closest model train scale, I would say O scale.

(...) Just (...) It depends... Assuming that LEGO track is standard gauge (USA) -Real world distance in between the rails = 56.5 inches -distance in between LEGO 9v rails = 1.5 inches - 56.5/1.5 = 37 1/3 or 1:37 1/3 scale (standard mini-fig is 1.625 (...)

  Re: GATS Tampa Show...
 
(...) Just (...) All together now: "Minifig scale!" Seriously, they're not to any particular scale. Neither are minifigs. You could carry out analyses that pointed to any scale from about S (1:64) on up to G (1:22.5, the LGB Narrow Gauge, not the (...)

  Re: New site for the NGLTC
 
Robin, Yeah I'll have to see what I can do. I tried to make it to the Tampa show, matter of fact I was in Tampa all this past week, but had to come home before the weekend. I was really trying to find an excuse to stay over the weekend. Good luck (...) (27 years ago, 19-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
