    Sizes

    Hi all,

    Ok Im not sure how to put this really as I dont do anything with trains etc.

    What I would like to know is when someone builds train sets up in any guage - what is the equivalents to other scales such as 1/35, 1/72 and so on. Does anyone know where I can read a conversion chart or something.

    Thanks
    Steve

    Thanks jankers, just had a quick look - might take a bit of working out.

    Cheers

    Yes we covered this in message #202 of my blog,anyway here it is again for convenience-
    Ever wondered why some manufacturers produce models to what appear to be oddball scales ? well take a look at this list and all will become clear,it is far from complete but gives some indication of the various interests -

    1:12 Large Scale
    1:13.7 7/8 inch scale
    1:20.3 G, Three-Foot Gauge on Gauge 1 Track
    1:22.5 LGB and Bachman
    1:24 Half scale
    1:29 Aristo-Craft, USA Trains, standard gauge on #1 gauge
    1:32 I scale
    1:48 O scale
    1:64 S scale
    1:87.1 HO scale
    1:120 TT scale
    1:160 N scale
    1:220 Z scale
