2008年8月10日 · For example, one real foot equals 87 scale HO feet. But the ratio works for any linear unit of measurement, whether it's inches, meters, millimeters, miles, furlongs, or light-years. (an HO scale light-year is 67.5 billion actual miles long, by the way ) If you're asking how many actual inches are in a scale HO foot, then a little math is involved:

2023年1月13日 · The chart is pointing to 350 feet prototype while the HO scale reads out at 48 inches +/-. The chart works both ways - swing the HO pointer to 23 inches and it will give you the corresponding prototype measurement.

2011年7月1日 · "Standard" HO scale sectional track commonly comes in 18-inch, 22-inch, and even 15-inch curves. Flex-track can, of course, be bent to form whatever curve you want. But it is somewhat more difficult to keep a consistant radius. You can obtain larger radius sectional track made by Shinohara, which IIRC, you can obtain through Walthers. In my own ...

2012年8月30日 · For anyone who plans to give chart tape a try for road striping, you want 1/32" for N-scale and 1/16" for HO. That translates to a width of approximately 5", which is about right for road markings. - Jeff

2017年1月11日 · Size 4A is 2" to 3/4" This the big stuff, used on high speed mainlines with concrete ties. Size 4 is 1-1/2" to 3/4" This is the standard track ballast. Basically normal crushed rock, no fines. Size 5 is 1" to 3/8 This walkway rock and yard ballast. Used for areas where trainmen are walking.

2015年12月11日 · I have a C&O 2-6-6-2 ( Bachmann) that is about 4 scale feet too long for the 90 foot turntable. If you want, I can take an accurate measurement of the deck length for you later when I get home. I have a few locomotives that I don't use on my layout because I can't use the turntable to turn them but the largest steamer that I would normally run ...

2024年2月27日 · I am planning to order legs from Siever's for my 2' x 8' layout and they come in 40 or 48" heights. I initially thought the 40" would be plenty tall and I could sit while operating the layout, but after reading some older forum posts, am leaning towards the 48". It …

2007年10月23日 · If we look down the chart, we see that 28 inches (so you don't go all the way to the end of the layout) gives you just about a 15 degree curve in N scale. Not as good as the real thing but still a pretty broad curve. A common size in …

2024年2月25日 · Click the box that says "Complete HO Scale Conversion List". It's very thorough.

2014年12月6日 · The length of a model in any scale -- HO, N, O, etc. -- corresponds to the length of the full-size item. The term "scale," as in HO Scale, means that the size of a model is always the same fraction of the size of the full-size item. In the case of HO, the fraction is 1/87.
