How many scale feet would 173 miles in n scale
To directly answer your question, 913,440 (fill in the scale) feet, any scale from 1:1 to Z.
Somehow, I don’t think that was what you were trying to ask.
Switching miles for feet, 173 full scale feet equals 5 1/4 N scale miles.
Chuck (modeling Central Japan in September, 1964 - in HOj, 12.5 meters per scale kilometer)
There’s 5,280 Ft/Mile
N scale is 1:160
Do the math.
(If you meant how many scale feet it would take to model 173 miles, you’re in trouble, or very rich… 173 miles in N = 5,709 actual feet!)
m kost,
From what you have written, here’s how you would go about converting the information:
Givens: 1 mile = 5,280’, N-scale = 160:1
5,280’ x 173 miles = 913, 440’
913, 440’ divided by 160 (N-scale) = 5,709’ or 1.08 actual miles
Thatsa lotta track. Hope you plan to compress your schenes.
