Does anybody know where to purchase a N scale Ruler?

Thank You,

 If they don't have them at your local, try Micro Mark.

 Unless you're modeling ancient Rome and you need a Caesar figure... then try Preiser...

Hello "Hogwire," An old "standard" in the hobby is the General Tools no. 1251 Model Railroad Reference Rule. It's 12 inches long, made of stainless steel, and includes N, HO, S, and O scales, as well as a millimeter scale and an inch scale divided into sixty-fourths. Having all the most popular model railroad scales in one place is handy for converting measurements from drawings in different scales. This rule is listed in the Walthers catalog and many hobby shops carry it. The General Tools Web site is www.generaltools.com. Best wishes, Andy

a 12 inch long ruler marked in 1/64's of an inch in 4 different scales in metric and standard? does it come with one of those mail-order classes to get a degree in engineering so you can use it . just counting the standard measurements theres gonna be 768 markings alone. lets see, another 305 markings for the metric, then the stuff used to convert to the different scales....i thought about this too much didn't i.

A scale rule is very simple: it has feet and inches in several scales, along various edges of the ruler.

If you want to measure N scale feet and inches, you just use that edge. HO scale, use that edge.

It isn't difficult.

It's only difficult if you can't read the markings - especially N scale inches. If you're like me, and have the General Rule from so far back that N scale was not yet marketed, you may even have trouble reading HO inches. Perhaps another reason to consider O scale with On30 as the track gauge....or G scale. Heislers or Shays, anyone?
