Do the British have better stuff than we do?

<p>MidlandPacific - I think you are getting a few things mixed up here. OO scale is 1/76, but rides on HO scale track of 16.5mm. Prototypical would be 18.2mm. Some British modelers lay there own track to that gauge. It´s called EM or P4.</p> <p>Standard Diesels and the bigger steamers are just about the same size as there US counterpart. Of course, British rails never saw behemoths like the Big Boy, Challenger or the Triplex. Put a British OO gauge Mikado next to a US one and you won´t find much of a size difference.</p> <p>As I said in my first reply to this thread, British model railroads are not better, but different. The same applies for the other way around.</p>
