Scale Gauge Train
Overview of g Scale Model trains
G scale model trains are also known more commonly as garden railroad trains as they are generally always used in the garden. This is because of the size of the trains and cars that are created under this scale. The actual size of g scale model trains is 1:22, or one twenty-second of the real life train. This is one of the largest sizes found in model railroading. Another term for this scale is the large-scale Model Train. Inside this grouping is the g scale and the O scale. The G scale trains run on a very large track. The track is known as the number one gauge track. The number one gauge track has a distance between the rails of forty-five millimetres. The reason that the g scale model trains are able to run in the garden is that they are built very well. They are known to be extremely durable and strong. This makes them the perfect candidate for running outside. As an example of the strength of this scale, the railway tracks are made from brass. Brass is used for the railway track for a number of reasons. Firstly it is strong and good for outdoor use. It is virtually maintenance free, which means it requires very little attention from hobbyists. It is also great because it only requires steel wool to be used occasionally to bring back the smooth finish. This is common with brass antiques also, so the process is the same. The g scale is very popular with small children. Many times, small children are not able to handle the smaller model trains as they are easily broken or damaged. With the size of the G scale trains, they are perfect for small children and provide endless fun and excitement. You can set up the trains outdoors and let you children play and enjoy the spectacle. In this case all you need to do is ensure that the brass track remains clean. Of course, you don’t always have to set up the track outdoors. Some people with plenty of space erect the railroad layout inside a large room. This scale is very easy to setup, as the track is so large. The sections of the track fit together very well and there are many layouts that can be designed from different sections of track. The benefits of the G scale are its durability. If you are buying model trains and track for children then this is often the best one to choose. Unless your children are very careful, you will find that the other model scale trains will get broken. This will not only save you money but will allow it to last for a much longer period of time. The G scale model trains are a great addition to any model train enthusiast. They are also prefect if you have interested children and they are likely to last for a long time. The G scale also allows you to create simple or very complicated layouts, so it is a great choice for many reasons. Philip Redfearn is an avid model train enthusiast.

Homework Help......MATH!!!!?
Okay, I really don't understand this question:
There are several different scales in model railroading. Trains designated as O gauge are built to a scale factor of 1:48. To the nearest hundredth of a foot, how long is a model of a 50-foot boxcar in O gauge?
I just really don't understand it. If you could explain it to me, it would be a great help. If you provide me an answer, too, you would probably get best answer! Please help me.......ASAP!!
Thanks!
1:48 means 1 ft = 48 ft
48 ft box car would be 48 / 48 = 1 foot
50 ft box car would be 50/48 = 1.04166..ft or 12.5 inches
