# 4 is not redundant in my nsh opinion :) they represent the old
standards and the current ones are really fine scale standards. As for
Proto64 we are a small group but serious (read crazy).
As a matter of fact.
The old "S" standards in this country and in jolly old England are now
called gross, as in over scale, they were code 124 wheels (flanges
.031) and code 120+ on rail with a gauge of 7/8 (.875) inch.
The NASG was second (1976) in writing "Scale" standards, The Society in
England was first (1965) and the few differences are due to the
differences in prototype practices. The NMRA has recently (1998?)
adopted the NASG Standards. This has code 110 (flanges .025) wheels
and smaller rail with a gauge of .883 inches.
And the newest in England are called exact scale which we here call
proto64. Wheels are code 88 or even code 86 (flanges .018) with
flangeways, check gauge etc tighter to accommodate.
