I'm getting lost here somewhere. Surely any scale is correct if everything is built to that scale. I would model in 7mm if I had the space and could afford it as the larger sizes always look better to my eye, hence to me 4mm looks better than 3.5mm. Here in Spain where everything is H0 the rolling stock always looks too small to me for what it is. Sure the scale/gauge ratio may not be correct in 00 but when I think of all the other extreme compromises we make in the construction and appearance of our layouts then to me this becomes very small potatoes.
I know when I am viewing an oncoming train at eye level as it passes through scenery I have built, on track I have laid then my pleasure is complete.
Long live British 00.
I think I will have to have a lie down now for half an hour as I can feel a turn coming on.

I have been following all the posts on 00/H0, UK/Continental models and can't help wondering just how many active modellers there are here. When I say active I mean those with a working model railway either under active construction or in a state where trains are being run for their own sake rather than whether or not they, and their track, are accurate to the nth degree. Just curious.
