GreetingZ Group, I just finished a transfer caboose for the C&FW Railroad. I modified a MTL caboose and mounted it on a MTL flatcar. The pics can be found...
I like trains in a variety of scales, ranging from Z through Large Scale (G) and currently have models in A, N, HO, O, On30, Std. Gauge and Large Scale (mostly...
I checked the Micro-Trains website this morning and the March releases had *not* been posted, but there was an announcement that MTL would be releasing the...
Malcolm, I checked and the March stuff is up, if you are having problems they said to hit the "refresh" button. Hope this helps. Also, please don't use...
Well we haven't seen that. We have numerous Marklin locos (Mikado/Pacific steams and F7's) that we run over 130' of MTL flex and Peter Wright's turnouts with...
... Joe: 'Dem dere's fighting words! Well, at least for lots of the guys I bet. Not for me, luckily, UP, MILW, and CP all hit that same west coast of yours,...
I wouldn't put my whole retirement on this, but stuff I have picked up along the way is G = 1:22.5 and Z = 1:220 That would make the reduction to be just...

Hi John, Multiply your G measurement by 0.102 = Z. I use this chart if the link works: http://www.urbaneagle.com/data/RRconvcharts.html Michael Hilliard ...

It depends on which G-scale you are actually referring to ... there are many: 1:20.5, 1:22.5, 1:24, 1:29, and 1:32 to name the ones that I know about. Also,...
... 1:22.5, 1:24, 1:29, and 1:32 to name the ones that I know about. Also, is this for scaling a model or a layout? Direct scaling of a layout isn't always...
Just a minor correction to what has been posted: There is no 1:20.5 scale. It's 1:20.3, which is the correct scale for modeling U.S. three-foot narrow gauge...
I Tend to disagree as most ascessories available including bldg,vehicles, people most G scalers even those using aristo,usa,bachman and of course LGB,gauge 1...
Hello Allan, I concur. I have a few 1:20.3 kits that I have not had the time to put together yet.They are beautiful. One day, when I inherit a couple of spare...
Thom, I just reviewed your Photo section, all 87 pictures. What is the length of the modular layout from GTE Nov 06? How many sections? Thanks Robert ...
Hi Robert, The modular layout at GTE Nov 06 was 12 feet long. It's 4 modules long, 2 each 2ft X 4ft modules and 2 each 2ft X 2ft end modules. I hope you...
I'm not exactly sure what you're disagreeing with. Granted that most Large Scale buildings and accessories (but certainly not all) are built in 1:24 scale (not...
Don't forget G deals with 1:22.5 when narrow gauge, still running on 45mm broad track. When dealing with standard gauge, on 45mm broad track, G is 1/29.5. So...
The real problem is how do you know that the “G” dimensions you are using are really properly scaled. After reading this whole thread it almost seems that...
The January/February 2007 issue of Ztrack Magazine is now available! What's in this month's issue? Nelson Gray, the "Father" of American Z scale, Märklin...
Ztrains now has a new "Z Scale Guest" article online. In this article we talk with Paul Gear of the MakeMyModel company. Paul discusses some of MakeMyModel's...
John B. G scale varies in size from 1:22.5 to 1:29 depending on the brand however the track is identical (rail centers). Depending on what you plan to reduce...
Reynard et. al. For those of you still around you may want to view a new photo in 'New Photos'. It features Reynard's Pratt Bridge and a couple of cars...
Interesingly enough I seem to have seen somewhere that the individual scales in the "G" range have sometimes been divided into other reference designations...
