The G in G scale stands for Garden, but there are several scales used... all the way from 1/32 to 1:20.3. In HO you're used to 3.5 mm is a foot where as in G or #1 scale 15 mm is a foot and at that size the equipment used can better take a licking than the smaller scales. And since HO isn't UV protected that Huston sun is going to warp your nice plastic cars. Better read Mark's Editorial in the August Garden Railways and do some further planning before you make the jump from HO, which you can make a great indoor layout for, to G where things are made to go outdoors. In G the 1/32 is smaller and relates to the true 4'8-1/2" between the rails and 1:20.3 is larger and relates to a true 3'0" between the rails or narrow guage. 1:20.3 is also referred to as F for Finescale and there's a magazine "Finescale Railroader" that pretty much caters to the narrow guage crowd.
