Scale Conversion for Model Railways and Model Making
With our scale calculator, you can quickly and easily convert real dimensions into model railway scales – and vice versa. Whether you are building in H0 gauge (1:87), N gauge (1:160), Z gauge (1:220) or another gauge: simply enter the desired dimension and instantly receive the corresponding conversion for all common scales.
Supported Model Railway Scales
- Gauge 1 (1:32) – The largest common model railway scale, ideal for garden railways
- Gauge 0 (1:45) – Popular with collectors and for detailed layouts
- H0 Gauge (1:87) – The most widely used scale worldwide
- TT Gauge (1:120) – Compact scale, particularly popular in Eastern Europe
- N Gauge (1:160) – Space-saving with impressive detail
- Z Gauge (1:220) – The smallest commercially produced scale
How the Calculator Works
Select the desired conversion direction: Real dimension → Model dimension calculates how large an object will be in the respective model scale. Model dimension → Real dimension converts a measured model dimension back into reality. You can choose between millimeters, centimeters, and meters as the input unit.
