I'm kind of curious if anybody has made it or something close to it. If so could somebody mail it to me? I need to make a hotel and I need some ideas. (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.loc.us.ky, lugnet.build)

In (...) More correctly for OO is 4mm/ft :) Some of us model to 18.83, which is exact scale gauge OO. (16.5, 18, 18.2,18.83,19 mm are all used with 'standard' gauge track in 4 mm :)0 (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

(...) So far, that's: G scale = 1:22.5 - 1x4 brick = 2' 4" long Minifig scale = 1:42 - 1x4 brick = 4' 4.5" long O scale = 1:48 - 1x4 brick = 5' long S scale = 1:64 - 1x4 brick = 6' 8" long HO scale = 1:87.1 - 1x4 brick = 9' 1" long N scale = 1:160 - (...)

(...) Lego (minifig) scale is much closer to O scale (1:48) which makes a 1x4 brick 5 feet long and a minifig a sizable 6ft 6in. If it is agreed that 5ft 8in is a more reasonable height for the average human than the scale is closer to 1:42 which (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) I'd be curious to see what other commonly-used modelling scales there are, and what model genres are commonly used with them. For example, HO scale is commonly used in train models and is (I believe) 1/87; this makes a 1x4 brick approx. 9 feet (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
