   What is a model railway scale?

   • From left to right, three different model railway scales: N gauge (2mm:1ft scale), OO gauge (4mm:1ft scale) and G scale. Gauge is the distance between the rails of the track in the scale chosen. Scale is the proportion of the model to the full-size item.

   What is a s scale model train?

   • S scale refers to those trains and displays that are smaller than O scale at a 1:64 ratio. S scale trains are uncommon. Lionel’s American Flyer brand is among the few remaining S scale train sources. Z scale is often the smallest commercially available model train scale.

   When did a s scale train come out?

   • When the war ended, Gilbert began producing true S scale S gauge trains in 1946 under the American Flyer mark. The term "S scale" was adopted by the National Model Railroading Association (NMRA) in 1943 to represent that scale that was half of 1 gauge which was built to 1:32 scale.

   What is a S gauge train?

   • S gauge is not to be confused with toy train standard gauge, a large-scale standard for toy trains in the early part of the 20th century. S scale is one of the oldest model railroading scales. The earliest known 1:64 scale train was constructed from card stock in 1896.

   What is S scale railroading?

   • S scale is defined as 1:64 or 3/16ths of an inch to one foot, and the S scale's track gauge is an unusual 0.884 inches. S scale trains are manufactured in both AC and DC varieties, but unlike O scale, both types use a two-rail track. Once on the brink of extinction, S scale railroading has experienced a renaissance in the last two decades.

   What gauge was the first model train?

   • These early trains used the O scale 1.25" gauge track. Model train manufacturer Marx soon followed with its own 3/16th scale trains for O gauge tracks. This led to the introduction of O27 trains, though American Flyer never offered O27 products. But these trains established Gilbert as a pioneer of prototypically correct scale model railroading.

   Jan 16, 2019 · A scale which sits between the popular scales of OO and O scales is S scale. It’s still one of the true imperial scales, at 3 / 16 in:1ft (a ratio of 1:64) with a track gauge of 7 / 8 in. Unlike the US, where the scale is used by a large manufacturer, it is mostly used by scratch-builders in the UK (those who build from scratch without using ...

   This scale signifies that one unit of measurement on the model corresponds to 64 units on the actual train or landscape it represents. Commonly known as "S gauge" in the UK, this scale offers a distinct balance between detail and size, making it a favourable choice among railway modellers.
