Hi Greg,
I guess we have to be more careful as to our description "live steam
scale". As fire, water and steam are three elements that cannot effectively
be "scaled". Reference cheap movies etc.
I am surprised the IFORCREEC** commisars have not beat their drums on
this one also as yet.
Jim Gregg,

Vance,
Thanks hadn't thought of the 30" gauge! Since my railroad, the NPiPRR (No Place in
Particular Railroad) is totally made up, I could say it's 30" gauge. The I could get
those nifty models I like! And converting plans to 1:18 is as easy as converting to
1:24.
Thanks for the idea.

Obviously, going to a track gauge other then 45mm would make the most sense
from some standpoints, but it's the least likely thing to happen, IMO.

Of course the debate is hot and seems to be destined to remain just a

Terry,
So yer happy with it--good for you! Yes 1/24 scale doesn't need a
calculator for conversion--nor does 1/32 (unless you are me!)

Sir Art and Terry,
Well, being a simple old fellow, I have solved the problems of all these

The F in Fn3 stands for fifteen (15) mm/ft -- how original of the NMRA.
At least that's better than A(ccucraft) for 1:29 scale. I can bitch about

The Roundhouse #24 is more or less 1/2"=1' scale. It was simply too big if

Phil,
