I am delighted to announce the Gauge One 1:32 Finescale Group.
Its urgent initial purpose is to stem the haemorrhage of Scale Railway Modellers from Gauge One.
I shall be delighted if it takes off further, perhaps even crowd-funding key components, though frankly I shall be satisfied if it Signposts where Scale wallahs hang out, and what's available to buy.
So far, it has:
The Group stance is to help each Gauge One enthusiast to find a style makes them happy, while specifically supporting Scale Railway Modelling.
Let me know if you want to play - ideally via the Group email address: 1.32.finescale@gmail.com so that I can pull together a mailing-list for internal Group matters.
Thanks to everyone who's already contributed to this venture, one way or another. David

- a member (me!)
- minimal Governance:
- open to anyone modelling, manufacturing or publishing in 1:32 Scale on Gauge 1 track.
- promotes 1:32 Scale on a range of Gauge 1 track types from 'Standard' to 'exact scale',
- promotes Finescale modelling of the whole railway,
- publicises 1:32 modelling methods and resources,
- encourages manufacturers to support 1:32 Scale,
- shares inspirational work and techniques,

The Group stance is to help each Gauge One enthusiast to find a style makes them happy, while specifically supporting Scale Railway Modelling.
Let me know if you want to play - ideally via the Group email address: 1.32.finescale@gmail.com so that I can pull together a mailing-list for internal Group matters.
However. I'm not wanting to start a new Online discussion, and anticipate that most public traffic will continue as it is, on established forums such as here.
