Okay. I now have another piece of the puzzle. (And I wrote it down) Let's see if I have it right:
O gauge track is 1.25" or 32mm. There are different scales associated with that gauge, just like with G.
I laid a piece of O inside a piece of G (45mm) and lo, it looked pretty good. Tilted, because of the ties, but you get the drift. Just enough narrower to look nice.
I am going to do G ga @ 1.20.3 scale. Which will make it American NG. I also want to do the O ga NG line in the same scale. Call me a fan of 'KISS'. (Not the band).
I do not like HO. Call it a mental defect. I like O, conversely. Thus, O ga is the choice for NG for my already NG RR. (My NG feeds a standard ga--not shown, but I think everyone probably gets that right away.) Note the levels of transfer being built in.
All track will be hand-made & laid, practically speaking.
Other than not achieving the tight radii available in HO, where am I going wrong, if I am?
Thanx,
Les W
