robmik: I'm not sure we're bein partisan here so much as pointing out the foibles in 45mm gauge. As you say, the "best" scale IS indeed subjective. I think what we are all saying here is that picking any ONE "SCALE" in 45mm gauge and staying "pure" to it is extremely difficult unless you run a very limited layout, or are able to do a lot of scratch building. It just seems to me that 45mm supports so MANY scales that it's hard to find the materials to build a truly complicated layout (like the HO and N-ers do), and keep EVERYTHING to the scale you choose in the purest way. For me, it's impossible. If it's close, it's OK. After much research I was able to locate a finely detailed model of the ORIGINAL Rolls Royce Silver Ghost in 1:22.5. "Pure" for my loco scale. It set me back $122, but it IS true period for my layour also. I cannot afford to buy very many autos at this rate. The 1:24 Model T's etc. at $15-30 bucks are going to have to do. I think all this might BE helpful to alanmina if only to inform what he is getting into. What he chooses to do with it is up to him.
