There's nothing wrong with it if he wants to discuss it further.

But what scale were the Skarloey engines?

Gauge 1 seems very close to that of Large Scale.

Gauge 1 IS large scale, one and the same, using 45mm track

Someone asked what guage 3 is, it is 1/22.5 scale (same as LGB stuff) running on 2 1/2" guage track, representing standard gauge in that scale, not common at all here in the US but still has a healthy following in Britain.

...though the Skarloey models, if they are indeed using Gauge 3, are NOT 1/22.5, as they are narrow guage engines  (2' gauge?) they would be much larger scale even bigger than 7/8" = 1'-0" scale which uses guage 1 45mm track to represent 2' guage track. if they are using 2.5" gauge track thats a mighty big scale maybe near 1-1/2" = 1'-0" scale. Thats huge, someone should confirm that's the right scale as thats almost "ride-on" scale

BTW if you want to see some really beautiful British railroad models, just Google "Gauge 3"

I heard that in season 4 and 5, That the narrow gauge engines are HO gauge and the engines like Thomas and Percy are 2-rail O gauge.

Basically:

Small NG models: O gauge track work, roughly 100m ft scale

Large NG models: G scale track work, roughly Gauge 3
