[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by piperford</i> <br /><br />Thanks. The advice is good so far. Do you recommend any books or websites for beginners. I am in the fact-finding stage right now and won't make any decisions until I become literate in garden railroading. Am I to assume that there are slight variations in large scale products (1:22.5 to 1:29) but all run on track which is 45 mm gauge? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />All run on 45mm track, that is correct. Thats what I was refering to when I mentioned the scale/gauge issue. There is 1:32 also. That is the most prototypical in size for the 45mm rail. bman made a good point. 99.9% of large scale stuff is made to run outdoors. The plastics are UV protected being the major concern. Can't really recommend any books because I haven't bought any, just used the internet to gain knowledge. Too many websites to list, not very difficult finding them, you'll see. Putting the time in finding them will pay off in the end. Good Luck and hope to see you on the forums. <br />Peter
