QUOTE: Originally posted by smsrs The track might be O.K., but turnouts and crossings present a problem in that the guardrail spacing should be smaller. More importantly, the wheels would drop into the frogs of standard turnouts. Conversely, standard equipment won't run through Proto turnouts. Steve (Likely Storrie Lines)

Basically it is HO (1:87.1 scale) to fine scale standards, i.e. wheel profiles, flanges,etc. and trackwork clearances MUCH closer to actual scale rather than the compremises all of us regular HO modelers live with all the time. Similarly Proto:48 is fine scale O scale, etc. There probably are Proto:64 (S scale) and others, but I have never seen anything about them. Cheers, Ed
