My husband received a Buddy L train set as a gift. The set comes with a 2-6-2 locomotive, tender, 3 cars and a caboose. The locomotive is about 18" long (not counting the couplers), 5" wide and 8.5" tall. The box says it is "G Scale" but is it 1:20? 1:24? 1:29? 1:32? Or, some other scale? Thanks for any help you can give me with this question.
I do not suffer from insanity...I enjoy every minute of it!!! Over 60 and still playing with toys!
Buddy L's are supposed to be in the 1/22.5 camp. The cars are Bachmann Big Hauler clones which are 1/22.5.
The loco itself is big, and it could pass for a small 1/20.5 engine. Yet its nominally a 1/22.5 engine, no specific prototype.
Have fun with your trains
I would say they are 1:22.5. The cars are nearly identical to Bachmann big hauler cars.
