How do you calculate the size ?//// SOLVED !
Hello Everyone,
Before I begin, I have goggled for 2 days with no results. So I decided to ask in a forum. Thanks in advance for any clarification of the matter.
I understand what Narrow Gauge is and the difference between scale & gauge. For instance, I want to model in On18, and I know that it will run on N-scale track to represent 18" gauge and that my figures and structures will be in 1:48 O-scale.
Here is what I can't figure out. It's Narrow Gauge so I know that my locomotives and rolling stock will typically be smaller than 'standard gauge'. Is there a mathematical formula to determined the size to build in, to reduce from standard gauge ?
