[quote user="marthastrainyard"][quote user="TheJoat"]Take a look at the   [url=http://www.lsceverything.com/index.php?title=Main_Page]LargeScaleWiki[/url][/quote]Even they can't get it right. They list Gauges under the heading ScalesPer [/quote] Dear Per,That's the nature of the beast with a Wiki. I happen to know the person who started that particular Wiki topic rather well. The part with the "Gauge 1" etc. was added by someone else, however since the scales in question i.e. 1:32; 1:22.5(6)  are referred to as "Gauge 1" in English and "Spur 1" in German, respectively "Gauge3" in English and "Spur2" in German that is an old carry-over and considerably less confusing than some of the "explanations" one can read in other places.What governs the scale is still what is quoted on that page:[quote]Definition The ratio of the prototype (master) to the model i.e 1:xx (xx=any number) The integer "1" stands for the prototype (master). If it leads e.g. 1:20.3; it designates the model as being smaller than the prototype (master). If it follows e.g. 4:1; it designates the model as being larger than the prototype (master).[/quote]All the rest follows from there, quite simple. Hope that helps.Best regards ER
