I know it is bad form to answer ones own mail - buttttttttt........... The other two sights are not very complete. The NMRA page just list ARA standard sizes which is only a portion of the rail in the US. The other sight just echoes that. If ya wanta model heavy Pensy stuff then the info is not on those pages. But it is on the UK page along with every other US and Continental rail size for which info is available. Oh and Brit and everyone else too. And don,t forget that alot of the rail laid in this country didn't come from here.
