To understand the T gauge scale ratio you have to take into account that in Japan their N gauge is 1:150 scale, not the 1:160 of Continental Europe/USA/Australia. This is because most of the Japanese rail network is 3ft 6in gauge and the 1:150 ratio makes the models appear a bit closer to scale in relation to the track. The high speed Shinkansen type lines are standard gauge. T gauge is 3mm, one third of 9mm (obviously) and so the Japanese scale is 1:450.
Hope this helps, Andrew G.
OK, I did the right math, just used the wrong "gauge". :oops:
3'-6" - - - -42" gauge. Isn't that the standard track gauge for Trollies?, or is it 40".
