Good because these discussions can get rancorous...

Ah... See there is the story, by that light maybe even a larger size
would
be better. 54mm perhaps?

Or better Yet! Lego Minifigs.... I kid you not a group I know of locally
uses nothing but Lego. I am using Lego to build a corridor system for
15mm I
am not ready to take the rest of that plunge yet. [Note a 2x2 stud
square
tile is 16mm across, perfect for 15mm Traveller applications (and with
40
years of collecting Lego I have stock)]

There are a fair number of historicals companies who have a wild west
lines
either as a sub-line of their ACW or a line to its self....
