HO scale is 1/87 and O is 1/48 

87/48 = 1,81 x 100 (to get %) = 181%.

So set the photocopier on 181% and you will get an O scale  drawing.

Scaleing up structure plans from HO to O gauge
Posted by elldadcraig on Friday, December 18, 2009 12:27 AM

Can anybody out there tell me the correct numbers (on a copy machine) to use when coping HO plans up to O gauge. I am going through my old Campbell kits and would like to use them on a new layout.

 

Thanks
