'Standard' wheels and track can be improved, benefiting 10mm and 1:32 alike without sacrificing inter-running.

Your patience is requested because this page needs drafting with great care. All sorts of ideas have ben mooted, not all of which are compatible with each other. It also needs to include the great deal of thought that G1MRA has already put into this, and to take account of subtle changes that some manufacturers have made off their own bat.

"Don't fix what ain't broke!"

Standard G1 has been broken for so long that it's now considered normal. People accept that G1 track wears out - 'like full-sized track does'.

Well, G1 track 'wears out' massively faster that it should, yet that can be fixed.

Plan for this page:

• Brief explanation of how the wear develops, the consequences and a summary of the choice of cures.

• Longer explanation written purely for those who want to tackle the problem (since not everyone will).

• A considered set of Figures which give maximum stock compatibility with minimum track wear.

• A comparison to help people choose between this 'refined Standard' and various types of Finescale.
