HI,

According to Bachmann they are 1:20.3.   But they do look good with other sc ales and look ok behind the Bachmann  standard line locos which are 1:22.5

Thank you. 

In 7/8'' scale (1:13.7) the 45mm. gauge would represent 36''; in what what the English call 16mm. scale (1:19), the gauge would represent one meter (39.4'': that is the reason for the existence of such an absurd scale!).

Ah no, actually 45mm track in 7/8" scale (1:13.7) is approximately equal to 24" gauge.

Then 45mm track in F scale (1:20.3) is approximately equal to 36" gauge.

While 45mm track in G scale (1:22.5) is approximately equal to meter gauge.

Whereas the UK 16mm to the foot scale actually runs on track space 32mm apart that is approximately equal to 24" gauge.

Hope that helps!

Right on! I was typing a correction when yours came in.
