Well, Mr. Cardana, for my LEGO train cars and locomotives I'm designing, I
am using a scale of 1:40 (slightly larger than Lionel(R) trains). My
assumptions were based on taking measurements from a minifig, and assuming
it to be in the 5-6 scale-foot tall range, 1:40 was selected as easiest to
work from- 1 stud = 1 foot. For anyone interested in such trivia, one stud
measures out to 5/16". Thank you very much for serving our country, sir.
