[img]http://1stclass.mylargescale.com/BillC/large_cr.jpg[/img] Blue, I have my grandfather's standard gauge station, passenger set and some of his figures from the 1920s and have often thought that today they were close to what we consider to be large scale. Here you see one of my Bachmann Jackson & Sharp cars with one of my grandfather's passenger cars. He gave me this equipment 50 years ago when I was a boy long after he had changed over to O gauge. The scale of the Bachmann car is 1:22.5; and I would guess the standard gauge car is somewhere around 1:32, but perhaps its toy-status proportions leave that open to debate. However based on what I have seen for sale at shows, some of Lionel's standard gauge cars were quite large in proportion, while others were relatively small. G gauge track measures 45 mm, and a quick check with my ruler of the wheel space shows that Lionel's standard gauge is about 54 or 55 mm, which is pretty close to what John suggested in English measure. My standard gauge track is packed away in the attic so that's the best I could do on short notice. Regards, Bill C. South Jersey
