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

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
