  1. I'm confused... is it OO9 or 009 narrow gauge?! I thought it was OO9 (after OO scale) but apparently not...

      From my Knowledge!! 0 gauge (ie ZERO) derived from Gauge 1 Gauge 2 Gauge 3 etc which were gauges the well to do had their toy trains in in the late 1800s onwards, 0 was the next smaller gauge, followed by 00 and H0 in europe ( H0 = Half 0) so I always considere 00-9 to be correct not that it matters much everyone knows what it means i would have thought??

  5. Ashort note written to a well known and much loved supplier of trains...Why on earth would you list a forthcoming Bachmann item 44-539 (Scenecraft Platform Tractor Unit) under magnifiers and loupes? It took a while to find.. Are to trying to not sell them? You might want to relocate this item...Just a suggestion.. However it might just be some clever marketing ploy that has somehow eluded me...
