Number 1 gauge: (no scale)
#1 Gauge = G gauge, by the way the scale is 1:29
I think you can find many combinations… look on the older boxes of Aristo/REA etc.
Greg , please read my edit on previous post .
Mike
I did… what is your point? That I cannot contribute to the thread? That your answers close the discussion?
I did not quickly find evidence on what I refer to in the last line of my previous post, but I know it’s out there.
Besides, we all like pictures! 
Greg
Greg , calm down .
I was inviting you to look at my apology . That’s all . Nothing sinister . How you translate that into possibly being closed off from the thread , I have no idea .
Perhaps you have a lot of criticisms thrown at you and thought this was another one .
We all appreciate your help . I only re-read what I had said because of your comment , so that was helpful .
Now cease hovering at 1 ft in the air . You may fall .
Mike (who refuses to do smilies )
and who also spends a lot of time trying to get his pictures here . Unsuccessfully .
Yep. Leg pulling. MTH reference makes it along tug.
The large scale industry – 4 serious mfgs. left? – has left the distinctions of size to us.
Perhaps then , Wendell , they ought to put a sign on all boxes saying –
“As approved by LSC , ------scale”
Perhaps Bob could make it pay . Baggies I check all the free samples .
Mike
Ok, misunderstanding Mike, hovering thrusters off.
You having problems getting pictures there, where do you store them on the net?
Greg
SM = 16 mm scale = 1’. About 1:19. The accurate scale for 2’ gauge using 32 mm gauge track.
So it definitely is not “G” scale.
It is however, another “LARGE SCALE”
Greg , I don’t .
I store them in my computer (I don’t want my porn seen by anyone except pornbrokers).
They are in Picasa .
I just managed to get one from Picasa to Freight Shed .
I then posted a thread and the address of the picture came up , click and it shows .
Now I can’t remember how I got from Picasa to Freight Shed . I think I called the picture up in Picasa , opened Freight Shed and slid it from Picasa to Freight Shed .
I’ll try again .
I should really stick to burning my fingers on the Fowler , it’s less painful than posting pics .
Mike
Freight shed is on the internet, so you have to access with a browser (maybe FTP works too?)
Yes, drag and drop sometimes works… you basically copied it from your pc to the internet.
Regards, Greg

Oh it’s near enough for me Tony . My 1/22 wagons look ok behind anything from 1/19 to 1/24 .
The Roundhouse Fowler is aimed at looking ok with stuff around G scale , they do not pretend to be exact scale models , but there is enough detail to make them recognisable .
If I haven’t been conned , I enjoy similar scales to G . Note the bit about being conned .
Do you think that SM means Sixteen Mil?
If so , Tenmille looks a bit daft , it ought to be TM32 .
Just to see how well educated we all are , what’s Gn16 ?
Answers on a ten dollar bill please

Ah , I didn’t realise that Greg , thanks . It makes more sense now .
I shall try again and send you vile messages if it doesn’t work .
Mike
Mike, I don’t think SM means Sixteen Mil, I know it means that.
All you have to do is read what I wrote. SM=16mm.
Nowhere have I suggested that Roundhouse does or doesn’t actually make scale models.
What I am saying is that the Scale - Gauge ratio is 1:19, which is not “G” Scale.
If SM32 (1:19) is near enough to G Scale for you, great.
I know what Gn15 is. Its “G scale” (cringe) running on HO gauge track. I am not exactly sure what scale they mean by G in this reference. I have the stuff to do a GN15 mine train someday. In my case that’s 1:24th scale on HO gauge track.
But Gn16, that one I dunno.
I have an On30 engine to convert to Gn15 and have never done it. I think Gn16 is G sac ale size on 16-inch track width? I vaguely remember Gn15 is G on 15-inch (HO track).
Gee, (no pun intended) I thought I understood the scale/gauge thing and knew the “standard” scale/gauges, but now I am so confused I think I might just start not careing one way or the other. In Large Scale (I agree with Tony) I run (and buy) just 1:20.3. If someone come out with rolling stock that is built to an ambiguous size, I compare it to my K-27 or Shays or Connie and see if it “looks funny”; if so, I don’t buy it. If it looks OK, I might.
I know that there is no “correct” scale or gauge, But I have modeled in HO and N and they are much easier scales for which to make buying choices. Large Scale is where it gets weird. Apparently, from this thread, very weird!
I don’t “count rivets” either.
I just try to do bridges “correctly” haha!
