I ran around scale for a long time trying to decide on what to use. My brain really wanted 1:32 scale, which is the "proper" scale to model North American standard gauge prototypes on #1 gauge track. This limits you to Marklin (high quality, high price, limited NA.prototypes), Aristo-Craft and USA Trains (both lesser quality, lower price, lots of NA rolling stock). I believe that Aristo is actually 1:29 scale (which should be close enough to be visually compatible with 1:32) and I can't remember whether USA Trains is 1:32 or 1:29. There is also limited accessories (die cast cars, buildings, etc) available in 1:32 or 1:29 scale. <br /> <br />LGB is 1:22.5 scale, which is the "proper" scale to model most North American narrow gauge lines. It is also close enough to interact with 1:24 scale, which is easy to find in accessories.. <br /> <br />I really decided based on the product. I like LGB and think it's a very good balance of quality, price, and availability of North American prototypes. So, I'm modeling 1:22.5. But I don't think that will keep me from using prototypes that were only built for standard gauge track.
