Scales and Gauges
I have always wanted a Garden Railway, but……..
Where should I start?
What Scale or Gauge should I use?
Should it be Standard or Narrow Gauge?
These are some of the questions we get asked all the time, to help with decisions and clear up some
confusions a summary of the various scales and gauges commonly used outdoors is given below.

*Rail Height expressed in Thousanths of an Inch
The term ‘Prototype’ refers to the full sized railway, and the term ‘Gauge’ refers to the distance between
the rails. There are two basic groups; Standard which is 4ft 8½in, and Narrow which is anything less.
G Scale refers to the ratio of 1:22.5 (13.5mm/ft) now widely used to model both Standard Gauge
(63.5mm) and Narrow Gauge (45mm) Prototypes. Note that the ‘G Scale Standard Gauge’ is often
referred to as ‘Gauge3’ or ‘G64’ and ‘G Scale Narrow Gauge’ is often referred to as ‘G45’ or ‘LGB’.
However it is worth mentioning that within ‘G Scale’ there are more than one scale ratio in use. In fact
there are no less than 3 sub scales that will be commonly encountered apart from the technically
‘correct’ 1:22.5. The reason for this is a desire on the part of manufacturers to enable widely disparate
types of rolling stock from many different parts of the world to be able to run together and ‘look
correct’.
Therefore you may encounter models at scales of:
1:20.3
e.g. Accucraft, Bachmann Spectrum, American Narrow Gauge.
1:24
e.g. Accucraft.
1:29
e.g. USA Trains, Aristocraft, Accucraft, American Standard Gauge.
