[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by emipapa I am also NEW to Garden Railroading. If you do the research you will find that all of the G SCALE RAIL is 45 MM gauge. You will also discover that L.G.B. provided the first 45 MM gauge rail to the modeler in the begining with their rolling stock. After that had happened then all of the other manufactures jumped on the band wagon and started to produce ALL of their rolling stock, no matter what scale they produced, to ride on the 45MM gauge rail, They then expanded their product lines to provide rail of the SAME 45 MM gauge. I do think FREE ENTERPRISE is GOOD for the HOBBY and the ECONOMY. One other note I must add is that I feel that we have SUFFICIENT people in Government, weather it be City/Town, County/State or Federal making more then enough RULES, REGULATIONS and LAWS for us folk who would have to pay the bill for the change or standardization that you speak about.. I say Don't TRY to FIX whats NOT BROKE! Just my 2 cents, Ron [/quote] I think Capitalism is actually working against us in this instance. Case-in-point, with so many standards and scales, no one scale can be provided with ample materials and factory parts are too different. I began with 1:20.3, and I cannot model to my best level because I have to scratchbuild everything, of which time is a constraint. Diversity is not possible with no standard, the industry is restrained since no manufacture can afford to provide a variety of parts.
