Dear Steve,
We think Lewis and Charlie are doing a great job in 1:29 (I personally have most of their locos and scores of cars) and we have no plans of leaving our Narrow Gauge niche.
On my railroad, I simply run one scale at a time.
Have fun!

So I guess the 1:29 QJ came in under the radar?

The QJ was a VERY limited edition - there was one on e-bay for $6500, IIRC.  The scale, by the way, is not 1/29th, but from calculations I did a while back using the wheel diameters, other measurements and the 45mm track gauge it was standing on, it worked out at 1/24th scale.
