Hello
Would it be possible to expand the FAQ relating to Scale and Gauge, to cover metric equivalents please? For example 4 feet 81/2 inches = 1435mm
Also could the narrow gauge definitions include H0e (?H0n30) and H0m please?
As an aside, did you know that 00 came about in the UK because the smaller outline of British railway locomotives made it difficult to fit 12v electric motors into H0 (1/87scale) boilers. The slight enlargement to 1/76 scale made it feasible. Some finescale modellers use true scale track at 18.82mm wide. Many UK modellers still use H0 track, so technically, all UK standard gauge models are narrow gauge!
