Z scale: Trains built to a
ratio of 1:220. A 75-foot-long locomotive measures 4
inches long. The rails of the track are 6.5 mm apart. N scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:160. A 75-foot-long locomotive is 5 1/2 inches long. The rails of the track are spaced 9 mm apart. HO scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:87. A 75-foot-long locomotive is 10 1/2 inches long. The rails of the track are 16.5 mm apart. O scale: Trains built to a ratio of 1:48. A 75-foot-long locomotive is 18 3/4 inches long. The rails of O gauge track are 1 1/4 inches apart. G scale: These trains are built to a ratio of 1:22.5. A 75-foot-long locomotive is 40 inches long. G and other large scale trains run on gauge 1 track with rails 45 mm apart. A "n" next to the scale means narrow gauge and the number after the "n" would be the prototypical distance between the rails. For instance, On30 would be O Scale trains with 30" between the rails. Most narrow gauge railroads in Colorado were 36" gauge between the rails. HOn3 would be HO Scale with 3' between the rails. (Standard gauge is 4' 8½" between the rails.) |
