This is a relatively new entrant
in the Scale Wars. but the use of Gauge 1 track to
represent |
|
|
2 foot gauge is an obvious step.
Sometimes quoted as 1:13.7 Scale, which makes it
precisely |
|
7/8 inch Scale. |

The latter two gauges could be
used to model a garden railway on a garden |
|
railway. The "G" in G Scale comes
from the German word Grosse, or Large, but |
|
is also taken to be "G" for
Garden. This is the most popular garden railway |
scale, as a large amount of
equipment and track is available. Confusion exists |
|
in the advertising of these
products. Many use the words "LGB Compatible" to |
|
mean that the equipment can run on
LGB or Gauge 1 track. However, the scale |
|
can be anywhere from 1:32
(standard gauge) to 1:4.8 (15" narrow gauge). Some |
|
references give the scale as
1:22.5 instead of 1:22.6. Tens of thousands of |
modelers use Gauge 1 track to
represent 3 Foot Gauge even though the track is |
|
10% too wide. Some Maine 2 foot
gauge models are sold for Gauge 1 track also. |
|
17/32" Scale on Gauge 3 track was
popular in early 1900's and is regaining popularity. |
|
** The use of "G Gauge" for Gauge
1 track is very common but incorrect. |

This is a popular scale for live
steam and electric, indoor and outdoor. It is |
often considered a fine scale
version of G Scale. Scale rulers are advertized |
|
at 1:24 and 1:25 scale, but only
automobile models are available at 1:25. |
|
Even in the early 1900's, there
was controversy between 1:22.6 and 1:24 Scales |
|
(17/32" and 1/2" Scales) and 2.5" or 2.375" track gauge
- same as today. |

This is a fairly rare scale used
for toy trains. "Standard Gauge" is a |
confusing term for a model track
gauge, but some older toy trains are |
|
advertized at this gauge,
"Standard Gauge" trains have scales from :1:26 to 1:28. |
|
|
|
|
"Standard Gauge" (2.125 inch
gauge) was sometimes called "Gauge 2". The real |
|
Gauge 2 (2.00 inch gauge) was then
called "Old Gauge 2". This practice faded |
|
|
after WWII and Old Gauge 2 became
Gauge 2 again. Only a little confused??? |

This scale is advertized for use
on Gauge 1 track, often described incorrectly as |
|
"G Gauge" track. Most of the
rolling stock in this scale is for standard gauge and |
|
doesn't look too bad even though
the track gauge is 10% too narrow. Track for the |
narrow gauges is not available
commercially but the dimensions are NMRA |
|
recomendations. |

This is the British equivalent of
1:32 Scale. It has been around for many |
|
years and is very popular. Models
at 10.25 mm = 1 foot (1:29.7) have been |
noted. |
