About S Scale
S scale is one of the fastest growing scales within model railroading today and is growing in leaps and bounds. Why? Because you need only 10% more space than HO to operate, our products are proliferating in the market place and S scale products run reliably, track better and are easily modeled to prototypical accuracy.S scale is modeling in 3/16th to the foot or a proportion of 1:64 to the real full size model. In other words, the real model is 1:1 and 64 times larger than S scale models in all dimensions. * Scale to foot: 3/16" = 1 foot. * Proportion to the prototype: 1/64. By comparison O scale = 1/48, HO scale = 1/87 and N scale = 1/160. * Distance between rail heads: .883" * Code .100 rail in S scale = 110 lb. rail in prototype. * Code .125 rail in S scale = 155 lb. rail in prototype.
