[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Gscalechuffchuff Reading the comments and advice, many from modelmakers that I hold in awe, and cant compete with, but there is another way of looking at the scale question. First, the 10 foot rule is very true in this scale, If you want everthing exactly to scale your not going to get it, and you will end up with ulcers......... f it looks right it is right. The reason I say this is that unless your very tallented, more than me, you will end up buying the locos. This in effect sets the scale you want to go with. Trouble is if you build coaches, rolling stock etc to the proper scale they will be out of proportion to the loco.... One way of getting it all to proportion is to put the plan on the photocopier and keep enlarging until the roof is the same height of the loco, ( If thats the size you want it to be) then do the same with the width) Just be careful that the wheels and bogies your going to use are also in the correct proportion. NZ is the same as Australia 3ft 6in but if you build a carrage to scale it is far too big for the bachman locos, but at the same time too skinny... so when the train pulls into a platform the loco just fits, but there is a big gap between that and the coach.. You should be able to look along the train and all is more or less the same width. Least, here it is.... Using the photocopier to set the scale for the models you want to model they all come out the right size.... Just an idea, but thats what I did. You can see my effort on www.gscalechuffchuff.com, needs updating and cant compete with some others, but everthing looks top be at the same scale.. Only I know that the carrages are 7mm wider than they should be... The advice your getting about get the track down is 100% correct. I know a lot of people that are going to, but never do... Force yourself, make a start. regards Tony [/quote] Tony, You're suffering from proper punctuation... the coma won't let the link open... http://www.gscalechuffchuff.com/ this should work
