Model Railroad Z - Is This A Good Formula To Find The Circumference Of A Model Railroad Track Curve?Before you say anything this has nothing to do with homework I think Ive got a good formula for figuring it out but I just want to run it by anyone else into H0 scale model railroading. If it took 3 curves to make a 90 degree turn then each piece would be 30 degrees. If it took 4 curves to make a 90 degree turn then each piece would be 22.5 degrees. So count the number of pieces it takes to make a 90 degree curve Divide 90 by the number of track pieces needed 90 degrees / 3 curves = 30 degrees each curve 90 degrees / 4 curves = 22.5 degrees each curve To make sure it is correct you times the number of curves by the amount of degrees of each piece and if the answer is 90 then it is right. Formula: X = degrees Y = per track piece Z = Track pieces 90X / # of Z needed to make 90X = # of XY # of Z needed to make 90X x # of XY = 90X Example: 90 / 3 = 30 3 x 30 = 90 90 / 4 = 22.5 4 x 22.5 = 90 Would this formula be suitable to figure out the circumference of each track piece as long as each curve track used is the same? - Model Railroad Z

What Scale Model Railroad Cars Do I Have? Is This N Scale?I've seen answers to questions above that give info like below, but I have no way of comparing. The box car I have is just under 5 7/8' long and the'box' part itself is just over 1 1/4' (not including wheels). I found the track measurements confusing, as I have no tracks. If I measure INSIDE the wheels, it's1/2', If I measure the outer side, it's 3.4'. Is this an N scale?? ********************************************** Z Scale - Trains built to a ratio of 1:220. A 75-foot long locomotive measures 4 inches long. The rails of the track are 6.5 mm apart. N Scale - Trains built to a ratio of 1:160. A 75-foot long locomotive is 5 ½ inches long. The rails of the track are spaced 9 mm apart. HO Scale - Trains built to a ratio of 1:87. A 75-foot long locomotive is 10 ½ inches long. The rails of the track are 7/8 inches apart.
