further info:
  G scale 1:22.5   (this runs on guage 3 track I believe)
  LGB       not a scale at all, but a brand name (Lehrmann Garten Bahn I think)	            It is G scale, but on a scale meter-guage track, using guage 1
             It might be referred to as Gm  (see February Model Railroader).
  OOO    this was an early form of N-guage, (British), but I think the
         scale is actually 1:150, althought the guage is N (9 millimeters)
         Micro-Ace (in Japan) presently makes some 1:150 models, which
         run beautifully, and look ok with real N-scale.
 
  OO  The British version of this runs on HO-Guage track, rather than properly
      scaled OO guage track.  I believe the Evanstan people (I know of one, a
      Mr. Temple Neiter occaisio,nally mentioned in Model Railroader) use	      proper OO guage track
