As being continental i started with LGB 45mm of course.

Later i discoverd UK NG 16mm. Now i have several ACC and RH products. If they were not available on 45 then i would not have bought them as i don't do conversions and have additional costs.

Expecting delivery of Charles ....

Not a very good one... it's just dawned on me that the Stainz is actually a 760mm gauge loco (I think) and not a 1000mm gauge loco- so most of my above argument is twaddle! I'm not actually sure what scale the Regner loco is built to though, it might well be that it scales out better to 45mm track than 32mm anyway. Taking it as 16mm scale (which it patently isn't) then the same theory as the W&L- 760mm is near as dammit 2' 6".

well, I really don't think it matters so much considering if we were going to go for scale correctness my railway would have to be 1.7301504 km long! I have about 0.1-0.2 of a scale mile of track in my garden!
