It depends...
Assuming that LEGO track is standard gauge (USA)
-Real world distance in between the rails = 56.5 inches
-distance in between LEGO 9v rails = 1.5 inches
- 56.5/1.5 = 37 1/3 or 1:37 1/3 scale
(standard mini-fig is 1.625 inches tall @1:37 1/3 scale = 5' 1/2" tall)
Assuming an average human is aprox 5'8" tall minifig scale comes out to about
1:43.
LEGO track at 1:43 scale compares to a real world distance in between the rails
of 64 1/2". I believe Larry P suggested that LEGO standard gauge is a little
wide so maybe this is about right.
Compare to O-scale which is 1:48. (a minifig @1:48 is 6'6" tall)
