OLD DAD: <br /> <br />Yeah. I got to doing some more homework on the issue right after I posted the question to you. 1:22.5 DOES work out for Meter Gauge as opposed to true 3'. <br /> <br />Aster, which is a Japanese Manufacturer PROBABLY (don't want to ASSUME too much here), but PROBABLY... chose the metric system to use since it's what THEY do. All the hundreds of little nuts and bolts that come with this kit are metric. Even to the fractional mm level. Hence the 1:22.5 for Narrow Gauge. <br /> <br />Not sure the Japanese know what 3 "feet" is. :-) (No offense.) <br /> <br />vsmith: <br /> <br />I do have to go with you on the concept you state here. As I've said before, I'm not as fussy as an indoor HO or N scaler. Can't afford to be unless like you say, I plan LOT of scratch building. <br /> <br />I'd be willing to bet that a regular indoor fussy person would not be able to tell that the Delton 1:24 Consist I run behind the 1:22.5 Narrow Gauge loco is actually what it is without having KNOWN this ahead of time. They are SOOOOO close. <br /> <br />I'll bet a "true" 3' foot narow gauger that usually runs 1:20.3 wouldn't care either, but I could be wrong. The bloody thing looks really good to me. <br /> <br />I'll get some photos ready soon. Even if I have to do it on my dining room table.
