[quote user="grandpopswalt"]Dear Tooth,Your question is sure to bring out a lot of opinions. The short answer is that there is really no solid way to define LGB's scale. It's close to 1:22.5 but can be off significantly in almost any of the dimensions (and not all at the same time), and they do not specify a scale. Most of the other manufacturers are pretty close to what they advertise.The best thing to do is to compare an item you're proposing to buy to something that you already own. If the two look good together, meaning that they are about the same scale, then go ahead and buy it. Walt[/quote] Walt, Always an interesting topic. On that scale for LGB; LGB advertised for years and years that they build to 1:22.5 scale. That would be correct for Meter Gauge models on 45mm track.As a matter of fact if you look at the [url=http://www.lgb.de/pdf/00617.pdf] second page of this PDF[/url] it still states:"LGB trains are G scale (1:22.5) — four times larger than conventional HO-scale trains (1:87)."Not quite factual in more than one respect, but still stated. Tooth As a quick check for scale: take along a "normal" 1:22.5 figure and a "normal" 1:20.3 figure to check the door heights of buildings and rolling stock. Hope that helps ER
