What scale are LEGO trains?
From Irving De la Cruz: ! O-scale prints match the LEGO train scale although they might be a bit too big depending on your preference. From Tom McDonald: ! LEGO trains don t match an established model railroad scale. The scale I would most like to operate in would be to have the trains accomodate the minifigs as much as like a real train as possible. LEGO track is six studs from rail to rail; US Standard gauge track is 4 8 . Given these and if you assume that six studs represents a scale of 4 8 , then it stands to reason that since most cars are in the 8 wide range that six studs for car width is not enough: ten studs is a more accurate representation. I like the six stud wide trains and make them anyway. From John Neal: ! LEGO track gauge is somewhere short of G scale but bigger than S. I have experimented with making 1 foot equal 1 stud. This scale isn t too bad- the track is a little too wide (6 studs vs 4.66 studs-4 8 ), the wheels are a little too short (3 studs -36 vs typical 40-
