Scale for model railways can be fun too as the scale is related to the gauge too - so running on 32mm track at 16mm/1ft representing at 1/20th 2.0ft gauge, on the same track you could also run 7/8"/1ft representing 18" gauge rolling stock, same size track but representing different scales and gauges. Then you have 45mm track and narrow gauge scaled to run on n gauge track...gah...

thats a real pain!

And I can guarantee that the above paragraph made no sense to me either!
