Correct me here if I'm wrong but, Gauge 1 (one) ---IS---- 45mm in the old British definition. (Now called "G" Gauge by us "yanks"). <br /> <br />I believe 36mm is called Gauge "0" by these UK folks. Or is it "00"? I DO get the "Old Brits" and the Lionel folks confused. <br /> <br />Below is a link that disputes this: <br /> <br />http://www.thestorefinder.com/rr/library/gauge-FAQ.html <br /> <br />since IT refers to Gauge "0" as ------ <br /> <br />Then we have THIS: <br /> <br />http://thehobbybarn.com/resources/measure/trains.html <br /> <br />which puts Gauge "0" at 35mm. And further goes on to explain the difference between using the Roman Numeral "I" and the Arabic "1" to depict with Roman "I" being 45mm and Arabic "1" being 48mm!!!!!! <br /> <br />I HOPE this confuses ALL of you to a very LARGE degree (it does me) since the above sites are "supposed" to be "experts" on the issue. <br /> <br />I decided to throw my hands up long ago when I got into this hobby as to nit-picking "scale" issues. <br /> <br />I EYEBALL everything. If it looks good I RUN with it. <br /> <br />Peace.
