Question about scale
Posted by Lynn N on Thursday, August 30, 2007 11:19 AM
I am looking for information that describes the different scales and how they compare to each other.  It would be great if this was in electronic form so I could incorporate it into a display I am making, but if not anything will still be helpful.  Thanks

Lynn,

Paul Race wrote a good article about "scale" as related to garden railroading that you can access at the following URL: http://www.btcomm.com/trains/primer/whyscale/whyscal.htm .

Otherwise, you might have to be more specific if you are looking for information not contained in that article.

Enjoy!

Lynn,

 

If you go to this page and download the scale & gauge PDF you should have all the information you need. It's under "download booklet sections."
