Hi David
Like you I was beginning to wonder where the discussion was heading. What prompted your question? Are you trying to decide what scale to use on your railway, are you seeking a supply of British outline models or is it just curiosity?
I'm always interested in hearing from other modellers who are running British narrow gauge on 45mm track. It seems we are in the minority.

Rik,
Up until 23rd December the idea of a garden railway was but just a dream for the future, until we found a new property my beloved and I could agree on.
My interest in the larger scales/gauges is very new and until two weeks ago was always intended to be 15mil scale based on the Manx Northern Railway. In January and then February I picked up two G gauge trams on flea bay.
My question was simply to understand what was meant by british G scale, is it a thread for people modelling G gauge in britain, is it a thread for people modelling british prototypes on G gauge, I was just trying to understand the thread title and if it could be one for me to add to the watch list.
Since joining this group I suspect my modelling path will be a tramway one rather than railway, my interest in british trams is limited with the exception of the Isle of Man, why I don't know but something about the island appeals, my other tramway interest lays mainly with the Ringhoffer trams which I discovered about 10 years ago.
So I am a predominantly a tramway modeller living in Scotland with a british interest for an island i haven't been to for about 35 years.
If you can un-scramble that lot can you please explain to me whether I am a british Gauge scale/gauge modeller
I just plan to model things which appeal.
David
