Thank You Steve, My latout is at 9.41 acre. Just for some reason looking at it and what is there make the math look off. Smile We have 8.2 acres where wher we live and there is no way there could be as much stuff in that space. Smile

Your calculations are correct - 1 sq/inch  = 16 sq/ft  in O scale

10ft x 6 ft = 120"x72" = 8640 sq/inches x 16 = 138240 s/ft  / 43560 = 3.174 acres

Help me check my math please. I have added a 10' x 6' addition to my table. I am thinking that in scale that would be 3.17 acres. Is that correct? Or am I out of it?? Hmm

Thanks,

Kev
