Hi SKMoss The confusion of scales is a bit of a problem. Most on the forum appear to handle this in two or three ways 1 buy what they like from any manufacturer and who cares what others think 2 buy only form one manufacturer 3 And IMHO the best one choose a main manufacturer who suplies most of the railway and still buys carefully selected items from other manufacturers noteing how the size matches ect and in some cases deliberatly exagerating the size differenc to achieve the desired result. To give an example of this I wanted a different but still looks right locomotive to pull a Feldbhan train so have a Hartland mac ( at the time cost was also a big issue as well ) locomotive hauling a train of these tiny items of rollingstock the result is pleasing to the eye because all is in prportion to each other. Good proportions and balanced apearance are of far more importance in the garden than scale fidelaty. The best thing to aim for is perhaps the hardest to explain and that is a sense of rightness Although if all the trains are one scale this would be a lot easier to arrange then you take the buildings you have the same problem all over again. regards John
