Toys&tunes, you'll have fun with the scale thing, we all do! The manufacturers all make their loco's/stock to fit the same track, they don't make them to the same scale! <br />1:32 true scale for standard guage - Railking <br />1:29 sold as standard guage but slightly out - USA, Aristo <br />1:24 narrow guage track track 3'6"ish - Delton (now Aristo) <br />1:22.5 narrow guage track 1 metre - LGB, some Bachmann <br />1:20.3 narrow guage track 3' - some Bachmann <br /> <br />It gets a bit more confusing when Bachmann sells some rolling stock as 1:20.3 and it's smaller than their 'G' guage stock (1:22.5). Personally I mix the scales and it doesn't bother me at all, others stick with one scale, all personal choice and something that will, at some stage, have you muttering expletives!! Don't forget there are lots of small companies out there making true scale cars so if you decide to be a purist and stick with one scale you will find what you want. <br />Again, enjoy. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup] <br />
