Scales and Gauges I have always wanted a Garden Railway, but.. Where should I start? What Scale or Gauge should I use? Should it be Standard or Narrow Gauge? These are some of the questions we get asked all the time, to help with decisions and clear up some confusions a summary of the various scales and gauges commonly used outdoors is given below. Model Railway Scale Prototype Gauge Model Gauge Rail Code* Comment Availability The smallest of the larger scales and Gauge 0 7mm/ft 1:43 4ft 8½in Standard 32mm 100-125 probably the smallest for garden use. Almost entirely track current with some live steam and battery. Kits, RTR, Scratchbuilt, Limited edition Oriental RTR Gauge 1 10mm/ft 1:32 4ft 8½in Standard 45mm 180-250 Live steam (mainly meths) and battery. Kits, RTR, Scratchbuilt, Limited edition Stud contact for track current. Not Oriental RTR much two rail electric SM32 16mm/ft 1:19 2ft Narrow 32mm 200 Live Steam or battery Kits, Live steam RTR with Radio Control, Scratchbuilt. Freelance designs predominate G Scale Narrow Gauge (G45, LGB) 13.5mm/ft 1:22.5 3-3½ft Narrow 45mm 250-332 Track current electric, battery, live steam Proprietary RTR, Kits, RTR live Steam with Radio Control, Brass RTR G Scale Standard Gauge (G64, Gauge 3) 13.5mm/ft 1:22.5 4ft 8½in Standard 63.5mm 2½in 330 Track current electric, battery, live steam Kits, Brass RTR *Rail Height expressed in Thousanths of an Inch The term Prototype refers to the full sized railway, and the term Gauge refers to the distance between the rails. There are two basic groups; Standard which is 4ft 8½in, and Narrow which is anything less. G Scale refers to the ratio of 1:22.5 (13.5mm/ft) now widely used to model both Standard Gauge (63.5mm) and Narrow Gauge (45mm) Prototypes. Note that the G Scale Standard Gauge is often referred to as Gauge3 or G64 and G Scale Narrow Gauge is often referred to as G45 or LGB. However it is worth mentioning that within G Scale there are more than one scale ratio in use. In fact there are no less than 3 sub scales that will be commonly encountered apart from the technically correct 1:22.5. The reason for this is a desire on the part of manufacturers to enable widely disparate types of rolling stock from many different parts of the world to be able to run together and look correct. Therefore you may encounter models at scales of: 1:20.3 e.g. Accucraft, Bachmann Spectrum, American Narrow Gauge. 1:24 e.g. Accucraft. 1:29 e.g. USA Trains, Aristocraft, Accucraft, American Standard Gauge.
