Needed info on scales and typed "scales". This site (among others) came up and pretty glad I signed up. Still need info on scales as spent so long looking through I forgot to ask question!! So I might as well ask here.
Here it is - I have been modeling (mainly boats) for the past 3 years and have only bought ones that I liked the look of and have never worried about the scale before. Now I want to do a diorama with one of them and have got stuck as to how I scale figures, houses etc, to suit. The boat in question is the Will Everard Thames barge (barque) boat at 1:67. The diorama will (I hope!!) consist of a harbour scene, a background of houses etc, a small track with train - working - and anything else I fancy to go in it. It is the scale of all the stuff that I want in it, and with which I have trouble getting the nearest scale to match. How do I get scale parts to suit 1:67? i,e. what size train/figures/houses would be the nearset scale to 1:67?
Hope this is clear. If not, let me know and I will attempt to make clearer.

Ron.
