A typical, 1:32 scale, Audi R8R slot car by Carrera Slot cars are usually models of actual automobiles, though some have bodies purpose-designed for miniature racing. Most enthusiasts use commercially available slot cars (often modified for better performance), others motorize static models, and some "scratch-build", creating their own mechanisms and bodies from basic parts and materials.
1:32 was once so common a scale for toy trains, autos, and soldiers that it was known as "standard size" in the industry (not to be confused with Lionel's "Standard Gauge"). 1:32 is the scale for Gauge 1 toy and model trains. It was the scale of some of the earliest plastic model car kits.
1:32 scale racing organizations The International Slot Racing Association sanctions a World Slot Car Racing Championship in a different country every year. In 2004, the True Scale Racing Federation (TSRF) was established by former pro 1:24 racer Phillipe de Lespinay with the goal being to establish a North American "true scale" 1:24 and 1:32 ...
Using 32 mm (1.26 in) - 0 gauge - track, there is an extensive range of 16 mm to the foot scale [1:19] live-steam and other types of locomotives, rolling stock and accessories. Many of these models are dual gauge, and can be converted to run on 45 mm ( 1.772 in ) track ( gauge 1 ), and radio control is common.
Railways with a track gauge between 500 mm (19 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) and 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge. Diamond crossing dual gauge double line narrow-gauge and standard-gauge. Narrow gauge track.
Model railways (1) Aircraft models. Car models. Toy soldiers. 54 mm figure scale toy soldiers are supposed to use this scale as well. Same as Gauge 1, cars, common for slot cars. 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
16 mm to 1 foot or 1:19.05 is a popular scale of model railway in the UK which represents narrow gauge prototypes. [1] The most common gauge for such railways is 32 mm ( 1.26 in ), representing 2 ft ( 610 mm ) gauge prototypes.
A garden railway's scale is usually in the range of 1/32 to 1/12 (1:12), running on either 45 mm (1.772 in) or 32 mm (1.26 in) gauge track. 1/32 scale (1:32) is also called "three-eighths scale" meaning 3/8 of an inch on the model represents one foot on the real thing.
