Age...40 <br />I spent all my younger (in fact All) years growing up with real trains/trams/buses/trolleybuses/traction engines/steamrollers and vintage lorries due to the fact that most of my formulative years were spent at a transport museum.Holiday times were spent touring Europe spending time at other museums or just riding and exploring various routes.I've always helped with the smaller scales from my earliest memory (a corner of a layout where no damage can be done) but largescale from when I was 10 years old.LGB I'm afraid.I've always had a model railway but it's only been in the past few years that the family has kept me tame enough to decide to build G scale things.It's too easy to buy things.Plus I cannot buy the things I want to run.Everything is built with the children in mind and I tend not to get too concerned about scale issues.As I've said before,If it makes you so uptight about little electric/steam models in the garden (or inside) you have a choice.Get a life or go and play with some real ones. <br />Funnily enough,it's the same in real life.Go to a museum and ask if the vehicle is the correct colour.It's all relative[:D] <br />I remember some modeller trying to find the correct cream paint.In the real world the trams were painted with whatever colour was closest at the time in the local paint shop.Undeterred,he tried to find out what shades were in the shop at that time (very sad.) <br />
