Large scale model railways | No. 1 gauge | large scale model trains

large scale Model Train

Due to their obvious size, large scale or gauge 1 locomotives jump out and catch individuals off guard. Their incredible detail is only rivaled by the real thing. This is undoubtedly the main attraction of giant miniatures.

S Scale Locomotives | S Gauge | Standard Scale

S scale locomotives review

The quandary between S Gauge and Standard Scale maybe due to S Scale being the only gauge in the UK to avoid crossing British(imperial) and US(Metric) Units. In my opinion this continuity has fused an imaginary bridge between units, distorting the perceptions of thousands of unsuspecting model railway lovers.

O scale model trains | Zero Scale locomotives | 1:48 scale train sets

0-scale-locomotive

O gauge, at one time was the most widely used gauge in model railways. It’s fall from grace came in the 1960s with the introduction of smaller gauges.

HO Scale Locomotives | OO scale model railroads | 1:87 & 1:76 scale

ho-scale-locomotive

HO and the United Kingdoms OO scales are probably special to so many due to their user friendly size which allows model railway builders to pay extra special attention to detail.

N Scale Model Trains | n scale model railroads | 1:148 or 1:160

n-scale-locomotive

Maybe you’re from the hustle and bustle of Chicago or New York, in that case, N Scale will more than likely hold for the 1:160 ratio. Either way you can run any of the two on 9mm gauge track. N scale is also great for model railway lovers who wish to construct complete cities and towns in a space no bigger than your smallest closet!

Z Scale model trains are ultra small meaning ultra tricky to detail. The big plus to setting up Z scale replicas is the landscaping. You can submerse yourself in realistic fixtures and details that will give you the experience of looking down from Mount Olympus and passing out “fates” to all the frozen little figurines in “YOUR” tiny town.
