Liverbird81 Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Hi modellers how do I work out the size of a station building and convert the actual size to 00 guage
0 Liverbird81 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Or is it 1:76 scale I'm not sure in relation to 00 guage
0 Warbonnet Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 1:76 scale is OO scale. 4mm = 1ft if that helps.
0 irishthump Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Divide all your full size measurements my 76. Or 76.2 if you want to be super-accurate!
0 Broithe Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Expo do a rather nice 00 gauge scale rule - allows you to work from real-life drawings without calculating every measurement. 1

0 Weshty Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Think of it as 4mm represents 1 scale foot. 1mm =3 scale inches or one scale inch is 0.3mm
