This is all doubtful the only gauge I would use is 22.5 which is what LGB is and that is really the only way to go in the long run. I am interested in your thoughts on a 40's layout; I am working hard on what will roughly be a 30's layout; concrete ramps and a 4 metre (13') long 14 span concrete viaduct which is half finished (send me your Email address and I will send you a photo if you like). <br /> <br />My main piece is going to be a German Field Marshals train, My big Mallet engine pulling a consist, complete with a few luxurious coaches, a flat waggon with a minature radar contriolled anti aircraft gun. Blaring martial music and the sound of gun fire in the background, will be the mood music. My anti aircraft gun will be programmed to shoot down the ever present, noisy and *** crows here on Kawana Island. <br /> <br />See the 30's and 40' were a time of war and we should not consider this era without thinking of wartime in Europe. <br /> <br />I already have caps stuck to the tracks making small explosions at strategic times. <br /> <br /> <br />Regards <br /> <br /> <br />Ian
