  • this isint 1 1/2 scale it is 7.5 scale

  • @Thomas24train, I'm sorry but you are incorrect. This is 1 1/2" scale. It is 7.5" gauge.

    Scale is the ratio of inches to the foot to full size.

    Gauge is the distance between rails. Here in the west, it's 7.5 inches. In places on the east coast, it's 7.25 inches. But they are both considered 1 1/2" scale. Some locos in the hobby are 1.6 scale, and there are also some 2 1/2" scale narrow gauge.
