=== Scales that run on G gauge track === * 1 gauge: 1:32 ({{frac|3|8}} inch to the foot). Used to model standard gauge trains of {{RailGauge|4'8.5"|allk=on}} gauge. * 1:29 scale or A scale: 1:29. First used by Aristo-Craft to model standard-gauge prototypes. Incorrect scale/gauge but proportionally similar to other popular brands of the time. * G scale: 1:22.5. Used to model European trains that run on {{RailGauge|1,000 mm}} [[metre gauge]] track. This scale-gauge combination is called "scale IIm" according to [[Normen Europäischer Modellbahnen|NEM]] 010. The ''G'' comes from the German word {{lang|de|groß}} meaning "big". * H scale (half inch) {{frac|1|2}}-inch-to-the-foot, or 1:24 scale. Used to model {{RailGauge|3 ft 6 in}} gauge or "[[Cape gauge]]". Incorrect scale used for [[3 ft gauge railways|3 ft (914 mm) gauge]] track. * F scale (fifteen) 15 mm-to-the-foot scale, (1:20.32). Correct scale/gauge typically used to model North American narrow gauge trains on {{RailGauge|3ft}} gauge track. * Seven eighths: {{frac|7|8}}-inch-to-the-foot scale (1:13.7). Used to model trains on {{RailGauge|2ft}} [[narrow gauge]] track. * 16 mm scale: 16 mm-to-the-foot (1:19.05). Originally intended for modelling 2-ft gauge prototype railways on 32 mm track (SM32). The models are often re-gauged to also run on 45 mm track. This scale has also been used to model {{track gauge|2ft6in|lk=on}} gauge prototype trains.
