<p>[quote user="AF1963"]</p> <p>Thanks. So Large Scale and G-scale all run on the same gauge track and are all essentially garden trains. Thanks again!</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>That´s correct - they all run on tracks with a spacing of 45 mm between the rails. Gauge 1 also uses 45 mm track, but won´t be able to run on the typical Piko, LGB or Aristo track, due to much smaller flange depth and wheel thickness.</p> <p>Isn´t this confusing?</p> <p>I have never understood, why there are so many different scales in that market segment. 1/32 is the correct scale for 45 mm standard gauge track. Why some of the manufacturers have chosen scales like 1/29 escapes my understanding.</p> <p> </p>
