I know (fairly certain) that...
Z 1/220
N 1/160
T 1/120
HO 1/87
OO 1/76
S 1/64
O 1/48
UK O 1/43
G 1/22.5
Most confusing are all the n suffixes.
What do they mean, and should I fear them?
HOn3 = Sn2
HOn30 =
On30 =
Sn3½ - same as HO
Sn3
Sn2 = HO
It looks to me like the suffix gauges are hyper modelling of the rail line so engines and rolling stock are 'exactly' modelled in scale. But , wouldn't an HO engine running on HOn30 track that is really N track, wobble off the rails in the pursuit of realism?
