THIS IS FUN, now we have a good debate going. Allow me to inject yet another scale into this fracas......7/8" scale. This scale also runs on 45mm track and represents a 24" gauge railway. Yes, there are railways built to this gauge; some are in the U.S. Gauge has NOTHING to do with SCALE. If I were to build an HO scale train that ran on 45mm track it would NOT be large scale...it would still be HO scale albeit a wide gauge of 13'. Don't forget some countries such as Russia and India consider 5' gauge to be standard and consider 4'8 1/2" to be narrow gauge. To the best of my knowledge real work-a-day railroads were built to gauges as narrow as 12" and as wide as 7' gauge. Scale models of any one of these railroads could be built to run on 45mm track. As I said TRACK GAUGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SCALE. So; where does this leave us? Even if standards are adopted for "G" scale or "Large Scale" or what ever you prefer to call it, no one is forcing us to follow them. We can still run HO trains with "G" scale wheel sets if we want to; the scale police will not come banging on our garden gates. OLD argumentative DAD
