So its been basically socially chosen that 80 unites is the "Standard" guage for rails in gmod
In source engine 1 unit == one inch and this is reflected by the players dimensions, 6 feet high by a foot and ~a half.
However the dimensions of the rails are 33% bigger, almost brunel gauge. It makes train building a bit tough.
Anyone else find it odd?
I cant complain though, it makes trains look bigger.
I'm pretty sure this originates from Valve using weird scaling in different parts of Half-Life 2. I don't have a source for that, though.
Yeah it could be that.

Reminds me of the time a few years ago when I was spawning a few train props on a server only to realize they were all different scales. I was so pissed I made a giant display in the corner of flatgrass to show how ridiculous it was.
As far as I could tell it goes like this:
HL2 (non episode) trains are gigantic colossal beasts and the largest.
HL2:Episode 2 trains (not the ones from C:SS in there) are [I]slightly[/I] smaller if not the same size as HL2 trains.
TF2 trains are somewhat reasonable (except for that semi-miniature steam train prop) size and are smaller than Episode 2's trains.
L4D's trains are about the same size as TF2's trains and are probably the most accurate.
CS:S trains are goddamn midget trains and the smallest.

Haha, how small are the CS:S trains? smaller than sligwolf and models?
This stuff is weird

Holy crap those are small trains.
