Hello.

G gauge 45mm track modeling 3 foot narrow gauge mining tram line, that gives a scale of 1/20.3. Its indoors also, SO I guess that puts it into Gn3 although we dont call it that.

Technically 1/20.3 scale is F scale, 3 foot gauge track yields Fn3 scale. Bachmann and Accucraft are the leaders in this scale. G scale is considered 1/22.5 or Meter Guage that LGB uses, that being 1scale Meter between the rails although LGB is not known for their scale accuracy. Standard Guage using 45mm track is 1/32 scale although only Accucraft, MTH, and Marklin use it and is called Gauge 1. The defacto "standard guage" in large scale is 1/29 scale which although scale wise is inaccurate, is very popular with LS modelers, AristoCraft and USA trains being the leaders in standard guage trains here 1/29 is called A Gauge, Why? How the heck should I know?. Aristocraft Guage I guess?

In between theres Hartland which are closer to 1/24 scale and LGB's standard guage stuff which is 1/24, 1/26, or 1/29 scale depending on which direction your measuring.

BTW everything I mentioned above operates on the SAME 45mm gauge track.[:0]

Mine is an HO layout featuring VIA Rail, BC Rail and Amtrak passenger operations along with CP/CP Rail and CN for freight.


HO provides me with the greatest assortment of roadnames, rolling stock and loco's than I was able to find with the other gauges. I really would prefer the S gauge size - but the costs amounted to about 150% more than the $11k my HO pike cost me. That plus the availbility issue just wiped the slate clean for my becoming an S-gauger.

I model HO because it is not too small like N or Z (can't see that well) and i takes up less space (which is greatly needed) then O or G.

Of course, HO is the dominant scale. But i had never heard of F or A scale. Thanks for the info!

That's why I model S and Sn2.

Started in HO, but now model in N scale; just because I can now fit autoracks and Superliners in the space that I have. In HO, I was restricted to 40' and 50' cars. I also do some G scale in summer or around Christmas.

B-flat major - I like the way it sounds.

I'm a glutton for punishment,[^] Smaller SP steam for a undecided branch type operation.........in S scale . After a 25 year absence from the hobby, one must start somewhere[:D]
