I've just noticed that on Bachmann's packaging for the 'Dorset Voyager', that they mark it as Scale '1:76 / 00'
Now that's what I call accurate packaging... ;-)

Accurate? OO is 1:76.2 :-) (That's 12 inches at 25.4 mm. per inch, divided by 4)

Well, one could of course see it as very inaccurate, as 00 is a compromise within 1:76...

This is like the apocryphal conversation between an engineer and an elderly blacksmith. The engineer told the blacksmith that he had to make things that were accurate to within a thousandth of an inch. The blacksmith retorted "That wouldn't do for me, when I make something it's got to be exact"
