Would you support a movement in G Scale to standardize?

All- <br />I voted NO. Why you might ask?! Well its just that the 45mm rail gives alot of different people the ability to go from one end of the spectrum to the other. Some like to use it as a narrow gauge base and others like to use it as a standard gauge. Some others really don't follow any particular scheme. <br /> <br />No one has come out and demanded that we follow any one particular scale so why is there talk of trying to take away the liberty to do that. If something is not available for the scale you model in then become a real hobbyist and produce it yourself. People do it all the time. Not everything is available on the store shelves. The tools and materials are. <br /> <br />To model an accurately scaled N or HO layout a considerable amount of modeling skill is required. Therefore, to do the same in G you must try even harder. Its up to you. Do you want to be able to go to the local hobby shop or mail order house and buy everything you want?. Isn't this a hobby?? What is the definition of hobby?? Model Railroading of any scale requires you to manufacture a certain amount of scale items to get what you want. Not everything is in a bag on a peg board at the hobby shop. <br /> <br />This subject rears its ugly head every few months around here and it usually turns into someone commenting about the drive motors on some LGB trolley not being able to pass thru an Aristo Switch which changes the whole thing to talking about ballasting. <br />I hope thats where this is all heading, its much more interesting than reading about things that are never going to happen!!! <br /> <br />Peter <br /> <br />P.S. The gnomes made me write this!! They are holding my cat hostage!! <br />
