Scale chart model trains
Scaled Down provides quality N, S, O, G, Z, and HO scale train models, buildings and scenery for every model railroad set or layout. At Scaled Down we strive to provide a wide selection of quality models, buildings and scenery for N, S, O, G, Z and HO scale railroad sets and layouts. The model railroad establishment has standardized G's track gauge and related dimensions, but not the precise scale. The original gauge is the old #1 at 1 3/4 inches, or 45mm. The 'official' scale, using #1 gauge as standard, is 1/32. Some US makers use 1/29, while the narrow gaugers run between1/24 A model railroad scale conversion chart Dave Farquhar Model Building , model railroading , Toy trains July 18, 2004 April 25, 2017 american flyer , cheatsheet , HO , ho scale , n scale , o scale , OO , s scale , TT This HO scale box car is about 5 inches long. HO and N scale (below) are the two most popular sizes of model trains. HO scale is the most popular scale for model trains, by far. It’s 1:87 scale, approximately half the size of O scale. Like S scale, it permits a decent sized layout on a ping pong table. Inches to Scale Dimensions The following conversion charts are set up to measure from real world increments to scale increments. Rather than convert 5 scale inches to some number, I chose to use whole numbers that could be measured with a ruler or calipers and let the scale inches fall where they might. The scale speed of your train is 39 miles per hour. Example 2: Change the speed of the train at your controller. Say that the time for this new speed is 68 seconds. On the same chart, go down to 60 and then across to 8. There happens to be a blank in that box. The speed is in-between 13 and 12 miles per hour.

An HO scale model train is about 1/87 scale to a real life train, and your scenery and accessories will fit the same scale. You can hold a locomotive or car in one hand comfortably without fully covering it (which is more likely to be N scale). Using two hands to hold one might indicate a G or O scale model.

Depending on the manufacturer, G scale model trains range in scale from 1:24 to 1:32, but generally run together on the same gauge track. At the turn of the last century, Lionel was the first to produce electric toy trains in America in what they called “Standard Gauge,” where the rails were 2.125″ apart. In addition to scale, model trains and other pieces may be the standard gauge or narrow gauge, which refers to the scaled width of the railway track. Z Scale—1:220 or 0.05 inch to 1 foot N Scale —1:160 or 0.075 inch to 1 foot One of the original model railroad scales standardized in 1909, a minority interest, which is undergoing a revival in the UK and in Germany (where it is known as Spur II). 64 mm ( 2 1⁄2 in) gauge 3 track is commercially available, as are a growing number of locomotive and rolling stock kits. Lionel G-Gauge track, which is wider than O-Gauge track, supports G-Gauge cars and locomotives. These sets are highly detailed and perfect for children 4 and up. These sets run with a simple remote control that allows the train to go forward or backward as well as enable whistle and bell sounds. The largest model trains are collectively referred to as “large scale” trains. These big trains often operate outdoors on what are called garden railroads, though of course they can be run indoors, as well. These models are offered in a range of proportions, including 1:32, 1:22.5 (called “G scale”), and 1:20. Now, you can grow your own "railroad" with this HO scale 10-piece straight track train accessory set that adds nearly 8 feet of train track to your collection.Get your train set on track with this 10-piece straight track train accessory set, available only from Hawthorne Village. Scale & Gauge. As you get into deciding just what you want in the way of a model railroad, the question of scale comes up. Do you want HO or N or maybe O or S? Perhaps you want one of the Garden Railroad scales or gauge or Well, what is scale and gauge for that matter? Briefly, scale is the ratio of the model to the real thing or 'prototype'.

Looking at the chart, the numbers refer to the 'code' rail that would fit best. For example, the chart shows 110 pound rail in N scale to be 0.039, and the closest Depending on the manufacturer, G scale model trains range in scale from 1:24 to 1:32, but generally run together on the same gauge track.
