Hi All, Ok this started with the expected G scale (1/29) Class 66 Locomotive from Aristocraft. <br />For us Brits this is great news. Ok I thought, it will be a long time before anything for it to pull will be produced. <br />There are beautiful 1/29 scale containers available out there so why not build a British style container flat wagon for the Loco to pull along with the containers. <br />I enlarged a modern flat car drawing to 1/29 scale.....Then I discovered the containers were nearly 9 feet wide instead of 8! So they don't fit the wagon. <br />Interested to know why such an excellent model is nearly a foot too wide. In fact if you look at them end on you can see they are nearly square. All is not lost I can adjust the wagon and it is still within the British Loading Gauge (JUST)! <br />Cheers <br />Roger
