Thanks Dave. I was just looking for a conversion chart.

A conversion chart can be a handy thing even though I never found the use for one.
Seeing math never was my favorite subject I use a simple plan..If its 45' in N Scale I just measure 45' in HO..That works equally well for converting feet plans into other scales.
As far as track plans I don't bother converting I just use the general idea and go from there..

I use it for making photocopies. That way, when I build a model or a mockup, I get the proper perspective.

Howdy Everyone,
I am finding this useful for sizing drawings & plans; I’d only wished I had this about 2 years ago. I’m looking into having some computer generated 3d models made of a pair of British OO scale locomotives in HO scale using the Selective Laser Sintering process. I am also looking into a 1:72 scale helicopter being downsized in HO. More details in a new thread.
