new to this and was wondering what distance my layout would be in Real Miles. I have 151 feet in Mainline, and 52 feet in a total of 3 yards, all in N-scale.
Can any one help me on this question?

Your best bet here is in the Model Railroader Forums. I believe the ratio for N Scale is 1 to 64, so 1 of your layout feet would be 64 real feet.
1 to 160
The N scale ratio 1 to 160 so multiply your layout measurements by 160 to find the real distance represented.
Yes because in HO it is 1 to 88 I think [:o)][:)]

151 feet in N scale is 4.6 miles in N scale
(151 x 160 / 5280 = 4.6)
Thanks for the help everyone.
