Today I was thinking...gee...45mm track (LGB track) scales out to 7'1" gauge in O scale...pretty close to the 7'.25" gauge used by the Great Western Railway of Britain prior to 1892.
I did a little checking, and the wheels from Aristo Craft's 2-4-2 are 1.75" tall...the same as 1840's Firefly of the GWR...or the 2" drivers from Bachmann's 4-6-0 work out to the correct size for the Iron Duke.
Hmmm. This is very convenient. I certainly have too many projects on my plate for now, but this has potential :twisted:
