Reply to "Scale Vs. Gauge"

There is major flaw in the information here , American 0 scale follows a proportion 1/48th the prototype , or 1/4 ' to the foot (American not metric). From the track, the flanges , wheels ,pilots details roof, from bottom to the top, that will run ( for the most part in 5' gauge track ) O gauge runs the gambit in proportions from what ever Marx made , A.F. 3/16th 3 rail, O-27 , and what ever marketing name you want to add to it, including the newest and best currently being produced, ( and some of the are dead drop gorgeous) currently and recently produced by several MFG's for a 3 rail standard and not 2 rail Standard 's are not 0 SCALE! You can put a Potato on a Lionel truck call it O gauge , but you cant call it 0 Scale.
