  • Not being in England, I am wondering what "16 mm" refers to. Is that just the gauge? I know "4mm" means 4mm=1ft.. but 16 of them would make a massive 1/9 scale!

  • @NVanWendy 16mm refers to the scale, so it is 16mm=1foot, however it is modelling the real track gauge of 2 feet, rather then the standard gauge of 4 foot 8 1/2 inches. This means the the model gauge is 32mm. It's about 1/19 of full size

  • @laalrattysbrother So O gauge, per se, but used as scale 2 foot gauge.

    16 mm = 12"

    16 mm = 304.8 mm

    304.8 / 16 = 19.05 Hmm. You're absolutely right: 1:19.05. Blame my first calculation on the on-screen calculator and the late hour!

    My last project - for my employer of all people - was a mini layout in Gn15, making equipment from an HO chassis and wheelsets. I like the American designation in which yours would be 1/19n2, (in lieu of a letter designation for your scale) as it tells everything..

  • nice video,looked like a great show,
