I am just now starting to purchase some large scale(G) cars and locomotives. Before I go to far along a concern about what scale are the cars/locos bacame important. Track width is one thing 45 mm between rails, but what ratio/scale was the rolling stock. I sent emails to Aristo asking them what scale their sd45 loco was made to. They said 1:29. I didn't ask if the balance of their line was. I assume it was also 1:29. I asked USA trains what scale their line was and the responce was "1:29 just like Aristo's." I've already bought some LGB rolling stock and wanted a more powerful loco than the two axle job the LGB set had that I was given for Christmas. LGB's american type large loco's are upwards of $1400.00. I was hoping Aristo and USA 's would blend nicely but seems like the size difference might be pretty noticable From my math 1:29 is 32% smaller than 1:22. Any thoughts on this. How does the quality/workmanship of the three lines; LGB, USA and Aristo compare. Maybe I should sell my LGB stuff and focus on Aristo or USA. Eric
