I must say that I support Phil, us Aussies rarely stick together so this may be a special moment in time. Whatever is done it should be a world wide thing, not just to suit a few individualists. "G" scale means 22.5 : 1 and it means 45 mm gauge railway lines. On to other things about standardisation, I would like to see everything to do with the reticulation of power to our layouts be of the same material; ie brass rails, brass rail joiners, brass connectors, brass wire or some other derivitive of copper; everything that conducts electricity in a static situation (rolling stock is another matter) particularly DC (Direct Current) should be of the same material. My reason is this I am concerned about the long term effects of electrolysis; I feel that people are doing a lot of long term damage to their much loved equipment and not know about it. The problems are cumulative and insideous (mother in law like) and they occur when electricty passes between two dissimilar metals particularly DC and it is made worse if water or moisture is evident. If you are near the ocean triple the effect if salty moisture is present. More to worry about. Ian; Kawana Island Tropical railwway.
