The way I keep the various scales straight in my mind is to forget about track gauge and concentrate on the scale of each item. Don't let the fact that most "large scale" trains run on 45mm track get in your way. As I've said before; track gauge has nothing to do with scale. Dozens of scales can run on 45mm track....forget about track gauge! How many of you would confuse On30....HO standard gauge....&....Gn15? They all run on the same gauge track but there isn't any confusion here. What about N scale standard gauge & HOn30, any confusion here....NO. Again they both run on the same gauge track without any endless debates that serve only to cause more confusion. So why do we have so much confusion in the larger scales? I think it's because far to many people link track gauge with scale. Track gauge doesn't deternine scale. Scale determines scale; concentrate on this and all this confusion will disappear. Pick a scale and buy only that scale just like the small scale modelers do; this works well for them and it will work the same for large scale. As far as coupler and track compatibility go.....do a little "model railroading" and fix what ever problems you run into....don't expect the manufacturers to do it all for you. OLD model railroading DAD
