Scale/Gauge Comparison
#14
40' is 40' no matter what the scale same as 30' is 30' no matter what the scale so a 40' HO boxcar is going to be 10' longer than a HOn3/n30 boxcar.The 30' car is 75% of the length of a 40' boxcar. Remember HO scale is 1:87 no matter what the track gauge is.The same applies to all scales. The ratios of scale are consistant to all gauges in that scale.

This only applys to North American models as other countries may use a different size ratio for their scales
