[quote user="LGBFan123"]<br> <br> .......................................<p> I have heard from a gentleman who was at the Nurnberg toy fair and saw the "pre production" Taurus, and he states its around 1:29 scale (to mesh with other "standard guage" G scale) and supposably can negotiate R1.</p>..................................................................<br> [/quote]<br> <br> Hello Tom,<br> <br> Actually the scale of both LGB and PIKO Standard Gauge items based on the DB is 1:27 or thereabouts. "Thereabouts" since the length, height and width may have different scales! In actual fact, taking the LGB BR 101 as an example the scale encompasses 1:23.5 (overall height with lowered pantographs) to 1:33.8 (diameter of the wheels), but many of the dimensions are in the 1:27.2 to 1:27.5 range.<br> <br> Hope that helps.<br> <br> Best regards<br> <br> ER<br>
