Commonly referred to as Stablemate size in model horses. 1:30.5: 10 mm Often quoted as the alternative to 1:32 scale. 1:30: 0.4 in: 10.16 mm Toy soldiers and military vehicles including King & Country and Figarti. 1:29: 10.51 mm American model trains running on 45 mm Gauge 1 track. 1:28: 10.89 mm
The NMRA published alternative, more accurate and realistic standards for track and wheels sheet in S-1.1 These model railway standards are based on the full size prototype standards and the scale model operational reliability is therefore reduced in comparison to the models conforming to the normal NMRA standards.
HO scale model of a CSX locomotive First model railroad layouts in today's H0 gauge, 1926. After the First World War there were several attempts to introduce a model railway about half the size of 0 scale that would be more suitable for smaller home layouts and cheaper to manufacture. H0 was created to meet these aims.
One of the smallest (Z scale, 1:220) placed on the buffer beam of one of the largest (Live steam, 1:8) model locomotives.Rail transport modelling uses a variety of scales (ratio between the real world and the model) to ensure scale models look correct when placed next to each other.
1:24 scale model of the Ford GT, at rear, behind 1:32 and nominal HO models, illustrate the traditional slot car scales. 1:24 scale is a size for automobile models such as injection-molded plastic model kits or metal die-cast toys , which are built and collected by both children and adults.
Today model railroads are more typically referred to using the term scale instead of "gauge" in most usages. Confusion arises from indiscriminate use of "scale" and "gauge" synonymously. The word "scale" strictly refers to the proportional size of the model, while "gauge" strictly applies to the measurement between the inside faces of the rails.
OO scale (left) and HO scale (right) models of the EMD Class 66, showing the size difference. OO scale permits a level of detail including weathering and individual numbering. 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in ) gauge at 4 mm:1 foot means that the scale gauge represents 4 ft 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,257 mm), 7 inches (178 mm) narrower than the prototype 4 ft 8 + 1 ...
A 1:43 scale East German Barkas Volkspolizei van by IST. The model is made in Shenzhen, China. The first model car made exactly to 1:43 scale seems to be French Dinky Toys No. 24R Peugeot 203, released in 1951, [1] but many diecast iron or plaster toys in the 1920s and 1930s were also made about the same size, though not as precision 'blueprint' reproductions.
