[?]Hello everyone. Hamming here. I have a question about scale. Does anyone have a chart that showes the scale diferance between models scale and model rail road scale. In other words, I want to use model RR accessories for model Dio builds. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You for your time. E-Mail me at : amasijr@stny.rr.com
Here you go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Model_railroad_scales
Basically, there is no equivalent to 1/35. The closest is I Scale, which is 1/32. To caveat, I have never seen any I Scale trains.
Z gauge is 1:220 scale
N gauge is 1:160 scale
HO gauge is 1:87 scale
O gauge is generally 1:48 scale, but can vary from 1:43 to 1:50
G gauge varies between 1:20.5 to 1:32 scale - most equipment is roughly 1:29 scale
Best thing is to look at the Walthers train catalogs - N/Z scale, HO scale, and Big Trains (O, S, & G).
N gauge is 1:160 scale
:but can be used in 1/144 scale dio
HO gauge is 1:87 scale
:can also be used for 1/100 or 1/72 scale dio
Anyone know what’s the scale for I gauge? (Think it was I gauge that I saw this huge plam tree)
If you read my above post…
“The closest is I Scale, which is 1/32.”
A tree however, will work from just about any scale, since trees come in all sizes. Just find the one that looks right to you.
Thank You Gino for the reply. This will help a lot. Happy model building. I hope Christmas is good to the both of us with models…Tony/N2GVB ( Hamming )
