Hi Well I am surprised given what is in Garden Railway Magazine where it is stressed that consistency of scale is important to the good overall apearance of the railway. My coments are based on my Awfull looking Top Link Express where I had to mix brand and scale to get enough passanger coaches to make up a convincing train the handrails is the most glaring deficiency in the train to the point of me wonering why I spent the money and didn't look earlier at scratchbuilding which I will be doing as that looks to be the only way to get the consistency needed Because the manufacturers canot make up their mind on a set standard and scale like the smaller scales did years ago. As for tunnels beware the visitor with a large locomotive make a cavern with the tunnel mouths removable or make quite sure all visitors know your loading gauge. I draw you to the last comment I made which is that it is consistency that was inportant and you don't get that by mixing scales. and my pet hate seeing a train of narrow gauge stock with a std gauge wagon in the middle of it I don't care that both are the same size it is not consistent and obviosly wrong. But hey your railways do what you please But dont hang me for voicing an opinion that took 39 years to form and by the way I came from scales where things are consistent and there are set standards that the manufactures follow or they dont sell anything. and dont understand why this is not the case in the large scales regards john
