vsmith I think your confusing GAUGE with SCALE. GAUGE is the distance between the inside face of one rail to the inside face of the opposite rail. SCALE is the relationship between a model and its full size counterpart...such as-----1/2" = 1' or 7/8" = 1' get the idea. I hope this doesn't sound like I'm talking down to you...thats not my intention. As far as throwing the rulers away goes.....not a good idea IF you care about building a "scale" model of a railroad. If your happy running equipment of verious scales then that is what you should do...this is a hobby not test so you shouldn't have to prove your self to anyone. Many different SCALES can run on the same GAUGE track. Yet another confusing response from OLD DAD
