I'm curious- what is the official scale for G gauge?

Jack,

What a question!




I know, I know; it is quite a stretch![;)][;)][:D][:D]


shill (shîl) Slang. noun
One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.

Hi all,

I'm looking forward to seeing a list of dimensions comparing the prototype to the model.

Something along these lines



Let's see how many 1:29s it merits.

BTW my grading system works like this:

dimensional errors

less than 1% = Excellent
1.1 to 4% = Very Good
4.1 to 7% = Good
7.1 to 10% = Passable
more than 10.1% = Questionable

Yes, there have been people who found the scale too strict. Of course they tend to be enthusiastic supporters (on occasion aka shills) of a certain TOY company. [;)][:D][:D][:D]

Tony,

The model is equipped with a digital interface to connect a 3 amp DCC decoder. The instructions for the engine are on line at the LGB web sites.
Search PRODUCTS for 20490 or Amtrak Genesis Diesel Loco.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jack.
Congratulations to LGB. A stunning looking model.

Your reply is not really an answer to the question by Marty.
No doubt us battery guys can work out how to install the equipment but a simple answer like the loco is equipped for plug in dcc would be a big help.
Is it so equipped or is the decoder built in?

[Bucksco]

The body is easy to remove. There is also a large access panel on the roof that removes easily.
As far as converting to battery power that's up to you. I run my equipment with MTS.

[Marty Cozad]

Ask the head LGB person ,does the body come apart easy ?
2 how hard is it to rewire to be battery ready?
I wi***hey all would do that.

I guess we have to wait for Kadee to determine what will fit.

BTW what's the supply situation on the 30340 C 2012?

Hi Jack,

That would have been me. [:D][:D]

Very nice, indeed. In the meantime I've heard that the scale is 1:29 (more or less official). [;)][:)] I leave the measuring to the NA modelers.[;)][:)]
