making buildings
Posted by daylight train guy on Thursday, January 7, 2010 11:31 AM

Am new to model railroading. Was going to try and build my own buildings. Was wondering what the mathmatical computation is to make your building to scale? Am working on an HO layout. Thanks for any advise

Hello, you might get some better answers in the Model Railroader forum as this is the Garden Railway forum. - Peter

Welcome, however you are in the Garden Railway forum; HO scale is 1:87, or 3.5 mm equals one foot.

 

Good luck, Rob
