[modeleng] Re: Track guage

Hi All,

My favorite gauge is 5".

I started in 3.5" but found it too small for ground level operation.

I think 5" is ideal. Big enough to have a good hauling capacity, does not 
need watch making skills, a reasonable size to handle in the workshop, 
storage is not too much of a problem and getting it onto the track can be 
managed on your own or with a little help.

Whilst 7 1/4" is nice, moving the locos at home and in the Workshop must be 
a problem owing to the sheer weight and size of the things.

Regards
