@xMETALLICAROCKERx O scale

[xMETALLICAROCKERx]

sorry to bother you again, but I have one more question. My train is about 10 inches long, 2 1/2 in. wide, and 3 1/2 tall. is this O scale or HO? Thanks.

[xMETALLICAROCKERx]

what is the difference between O scale and ho?

[esiegel76]

O scale is 1:48 scale (1 real inch represents 48 scale inches) and HO is roughly half the size of O scale at 1:87 scale (1 inch represents 87 inches inches). So, something 48 inches long is real life would be 1 inch long in O Scale and something 87 inches long in real life would be 1 inch long in HO scale. Make sense?

[xMETALLICAROCKERx]

yes thank you very much

[marines773]

is that how fast it goes?

[esiegel76]

Are you asking if that's the top speed of the engine? No, it can go much faster.

these little engines would be great if they had better horns

[es44ac2]

@Railfan108 You can download sound sets from MTH to load into the engine- that would change the horn sounds... many to choose from .

About 15 inches or so.

[usofmeric]
