Ho scale chart

    • How big is HO scale?

      HO scale is 1:87, which works out to 3.5 mm on the model representing one foot on the real thing. A typical HO scale car is 140-175mm in length, or between 5.5 and 7 inches. If you buy a starter set, you can expect the train in the set to be around three feet long (approximately a meter) if it comes with a locomotive and about four cars.


    • What is the measurement of HO scale?

      In North America, the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) standard "S-1.2 General Standard Scales" defines HO scale as 3.5 mm (0.1378 in) representing 1 real foot (304.8 mm) – a ratio of 1:87.0 857142, usually rounded to 1:87.1. The precise definition of HO scale varies slightly by country and manufacturer.


    • Is HO scale larger than N scale?

      N scale is roughly half the size of HO scale at 1:160 ratio. Modelers tend to use N scale to build more complicated layouts in smaller spaces than HO scale layouts. Or they can use large spaces, such as garages or basements, to create scenic N scale empires using the size to create a life-like, but small scene.


    • What is the HO scale used for?

      HO scale is the most popular scale for model trains, by far. It’s 1:87 scale, approximately half the size of O scale. Like S scale, it permits a decent sized layout on a ping pong table. But unlike S scale, you can fit something moderately complex on a 4×8 sheet of plywood without any awkwardness.
