LittleHop Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My dad and I were looking at making a new train layout and we were joking about having a scale model of a scale model, so I decided to look into it. I went through the ratios of the different scale model types (or at least the normal ones) and it turns out you can actually make a scale model of a scale model. The math is fairly simple too. A G scale train is has a variety of ratios but for this I'll stick with 1:22.5, T scale also has a couple different sizes but I'll stick with 1:480. The simple math? 480/22.5=21.33, this means that a T scale train is roughly the G scale ratio of a G scale train. I'm not sure if this is old news to most people just I though it was a cool little thing to notice. My dad and I are thinking about making a small T scale track in our G scale track and label it "World's largest outdoor G scale train layout" just as a little joke.

SteamPower4ever Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Go ahead - I'd love to see that We've mused over the subject several times at my former club, but we never got around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
