Live steam railroad scales are generally referred to by the number of inches of scale per foot. For example: A 1:8 scale locomotive will often be referred to as a 1 1/2″ scale locomotive. Common modelling scales are Gauge 1 (1:32 scale), 1/2″ (1:24 scale), 3/4″ (1:16), 1″ (1:12), 1 1/2″ (1:8), 2 1/2″ (~1:5) and 3″ (1:4).
Track gauges can range from 2 1/2″ up to 10″ for rideable models.
