GAUGE

In the world of models, gauge may be used instead of scale. Particularly if a vehicle is meant to be used with a train set.

Scale can also be referred to as "gauge". If you're searching for a particular model in 1:24 or 1:25 scale and can't locate it, search for it using G gauge. A G gauge item is usually considered to be 24th or 25th scale model.

G gauge = 1:24 & 1:25 scale

Standard gauge = 1:30, 1:32 &1:34 scale

O gauge = 1:43, 1:48, 1:50 & 1:55 scale

S gauge = 1:60, 1:64, 1:70 & 1:72 scale

HO gauge = 1:87 - 1:100 scale
