<P>Standards S-3.2 and 4.2 have what is called an abstraction or abstract inference to it. Standard S-3.2 (Trackwork: Standard Scale) sets the maximum track gage for HO-Scale at .672 inches/17.1 millimeters. Standard S-4.2 (Wheels: Standard Scale) sets the maximum check gage at .605 inches/15.37 millimeters. I will gee-go-guarantee you that if you build to minimum track gage (.649 inches/16.5 millimeters) and you use minimum check gage for your wheels and you do not use minimum flange widths you will, very shortly learn how to spell d-e-r-a-i-l-m-e-n-t-s-a-t-f-l-a-n-g-e-w-a-y-s.<BR><BR>And that's all the rubbish I have for the day there, rogertra; certainly hope that I didn't use too big a words or too long a sentences. Before closing I do have to ask, which is better, Atlas or Kato?<BR><BR>SEE DICK!<BR>SEE DICK RUN!<BR>SEE DICK RUN FAST.<BR>SEE ROGERTRA ASK, "WHAT DOES ABSTRACT MEAN? WHAT DO HISTORY MAJORS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS DO? WHAT DOES THINKING ABSTRACTLY MEAN?"</P>
