What scale is 1:32 ? ? Just saw a metal switcher Penn. B6sb, 0-6-0 What a great looking locomotive, obviously the ultimate in ladderback switchers, AND, reasonably priced at $7,500.00. my letter to Santa is in the mail.
It is about half that of 1:16 th scale–toy farm tractors one gets in places like tractor dealerships or stores like TSC here in Ontario–Should fit in palm of hand. I do know that 1:32 is more popular in Europe—it’d be an interesting catch wouldn’t it?[:-^]
!:32 is 3/8" scale also known as #1. G track is standard gauge for #1. MTH has some more reasonably priced locomotives and rolling stock under their Rail 1 line.

Like said above, 1/32 is standard gauge track modeled on accurate scale 45 mm track, and while the track is often called G guage, it is in fact an incorrect term, 45mm track is Gauge 1 and has always been such ever since Marklin invented it in the late 19th century.MTH, Marklin, and a few small brands cater to that scale, also 1/32 scale is also called Gauge 1, the confusion comes from the many different scales using the same 45mm track, the most common being G scale (not guage) or 1/22.5, representing Euro meter narrow gauge and fudged 3’ guage, F scale being accurate 3’ narrow gauge on 45mm track , and throw in whats become the defacto American common standard gauge scale on 45mm track 1/29 scale which is not accurate guage wish but the trains are bigger than 1/32 and only a few die hards get their knuckers in a twist over that fudge factor.
BTW I’m leaving out 3 or 4 other scales that also use this gauge track, as I dont want to confuse the bejezez out of y’all[:D]
