LEGO Train fans! The time has finally come! It is time for our hobby to build
to the correct scale of LEGO track, which is 1:38, or as I call it: L-Gauge
Proto (LGP). It is easily referenced as 1 stud to 1 foot, or, in width
parlance: 10wide. 20 years ago, I advocated for 8wide, and now, like the
Jeffersons, I’m moving on up! It makes sense now, given the plethora of 3rd
party suppliers, 3D printing technology, and the general acceptance of
non-LEGO (impurity!) elements in LEGO train MOCs. The TCLTC has decided to
debut this idea by presenting our upscaled version of the Brick Model
Railroader NMRA caboose. We are busily creating more LGP MOCs, and hope that
all you other fine, LEGO train builders join us, in order to create the most
awesome LEGO train MOCs possible!

Hi John!
Long time since I last time read/heard of you. Your 10w caboose looks great.
Next I wanted to see a BigBoy engine pulling this and some dozen
“SCHLEIM”-tanker cars in between... :-)
Keep us old Lugnetters updated, please + Leg Godt!
Ben
P.s.:
• I myself was several years active with your old favorite 8-wide trains #).
• Some months ago we managed the switch back to 6 wide &).
#) also referred to as “Duplo”-Trains
&) Some call them “Powered-Up” LEGO trains.
