The scale is 1:64. Does any company make 1:64th scale trains? If so, can I have a link?
"Google" S Scale

Good Search (for a train museum)

S scale is 1/64th. Some of the companies that make S scale are;
S-Hepler, American Models, and of course American Flyer. there is also a company called P.B.L. that makes SN3.

Many Lionel, Marx etc. trains are about 3/4 size 0-scale, which makes them about 1/64 scale. That would make them Sw80 trains (S-scale, wide gauge, 80" between the rail heads.)
Thats why they were called O gauge, and not O scale.

Yes! 1:64 is S scale.
Here is a link to a website with more links. ;)

Thanks! :)
Railroad Model Craftsman usually has a page of small ads for S Scale suppliers, and Model Railroad News has a page or two of S Scale. gj
Any Time! ;)
Hey, All,
I have found a viable alternative to S guage, it's called On30.
One advantage is the more realistic looking 2 rails, another would be the
smaller foot print or space needed for track.
I use On30 for a Christmas Village layout, these bldgs. , D-56, Lemax,
etc, are approx. 1/64 scale. I hope I didn't confuse you more.

Barry - S Scale standard gauge is 7/8ths of an inch. That is only a quarter inch wider than HO. The track footprint depends on what you are modeling. Sn3 is 9/16ths - which is about an eighth of an inch narrower than HO.
Regular S Scale trains are a nice size and they all run on two trail. I've never seen three rail S Scale trains. American Flyers ran on two rail.
I visited a narrow gauge convention once and saw a module in Sn3. At first it looked almost like standard gauge HO - the sizes are that close.
