[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by OLD DAD THIS IS FUN, now we have a good debate going. [/quote] Just a quick word; debate is good while argument is bad. Hopefully some company executive will peruse our debates and some good will come of it. The crux of the matter is simple, keeping a modicum of consistency in what is available. OLD DAD has a good point, however I am trying to acquire materials that will work together in my layout without having to gamble as to if what I am getting will be pleasing to the eye for the dollar spent. Yes, there have been various track gauges used in real railroading, however the world remains on the same set of measurements. Pro exemplum, I could ride on the narrow gauge Denver & Rio Grande (narrow gauge) then ride on the Southern Pacific (standard gauge) and have no “scale issues in real life, yet in the “G” scale world I could not do that because the Southern Pacific (standard gauge) would be too cramped. I venture to say that if I populate my layout with figures, then the matter become quite clear. Brothers, I do not seek the elimination of the status quo as a whole, but rather a set of standards that would allow me to buy materials that would work together in scale, gauge and aesthetics. This should have been evident in my earlier post where I proposed a solution, major manufacturers could develop a line that conformed to a standard, and those that wished to partake of this standardization could do so while any others could continue.
