What are all you old women on about - Julian got the taper out 2 pages ago - and there was no mention of R8's it was Morse #3 taper! -

Good heavens kwil, I can't think to what you are referring
 
I only came to this backwater because I was getting a load of dwindies from this site hitting my own site - don't worry I ain't staying!

This really is a wunnerful forum - I'm not even allowed to edit my posts! Zero out of 100 for the forum designers.

Your sums are a bit out Chris - as kwil says, it's 1/16 scale so if it was a 60 foot loco in full size, it will come out as 45 inches in 3 1/2" gauge.  720 inches divided by 16 = 45

Hi Eric
 
If you gave us a clue about what "scale" size you're talking about, then yes, it might be feasible to give you a sensible answer.
 
Basically, take the gauge of the full size you want to model (in inches) and divide it by the gauge you want to scale it to (in inches) and that will be your scale factor.

 That's a bit rude you yorkshire - sorry, Bradford git!
 
Incidentally, this is a really pathetic forum format - the search facility is a non-starter and the ability to find previous postings by others, doesn't exist. With all the money the ME guys make, you might have expected a somewhat more sophisticated website - but there you go - gets what you pays for I suppose - try http://modeleng.proboards.com/index.cgi? to see a free forum with proper search facilities etc.

How stupid can you get - when you click on a link in this silly forum, it opens in the same window and you lose the window you came from- Sheesh, how can you make books about toys if you can't even make a decent website!!!!!!!
