Hello All- <br />Thanks for not keelhauling me regarding my comments. I agree with all of your replys. One thing that we must remember is that a large scale modeler cares about scale and gauge. A large scale modeler can have a garden railroad. A garden railroad modeler in my opinion probably doesn't really get too wrapped up in the scale issue. That person is not a large scale modeler. They are comfortable with the train running around the garden with birdhouses and such. Thats fine. On the otherhand, a garden railroader may have a HO layout in the basement with every detail to scale. I am not sure if the outdoor/garden railway was ever intended to be a dead accurate scale thing. It can be if you want it to but its nobodys business if its not. I guess it boils down to how "serious" a hobbyist you want to be. Just think of it this way. You can build/buy a dead accurate 1:20.5 narrow gauge layout in your backyard and it will still be out of scale if you keep one thing growing in the ground, all that work...and your still out of scale. Perhaps the NMRA can convince mother nature to grow 1:20.5 maple trees. <br />Peter <br />
