Title: k27 is it 1/20 scale?
Post by: Cfra7 on March 20, 2012, 10:36:31 PM
Hi,

I look on the 1/20 large scale pages and it lists the K27.  However, the K27 is the only train listed that doesn't specifically state that it's 1/20.  Is it 1/20 or something else?

Thanks

Enjoy it!

If the K27is 1/20.3 then why does the last line of the details page say 1/22.5?

Thanks

That bullet point is in reference to the inclusion of additional couplers that allow mating with other smaller (1:22.5 scale) trains:

"offset shank couplers also included for use with other popular brands of narrow gauge couplers (1:22.5)"

It is not specifying the scale of the K-27, which is definitely 1:20.32 scale.

Happy (well read) RRing,

Jerry
