Hi, everyone. I currently have heard of about 40 different scales. They are:
1" scale
11/16" scale
2 7/8" scale
HO scale
O scale
N scale
G scale
S scale
III scale
SM scale
Z scale
II scale
I scale
9mm scale
Q scale
7mm scale
IOM scale
Fn3 scale
4mm scale
P4/S4 scale
EEM scale
OO scale
E scale
QO scale
OOC scale
3mm scale
TM scale
TT3 scale
TTX scale
TT scale
OOO scale
2mm scale
HH scale
K scale
QOO scale
TTT scale
M scale
X scale
H2 scale
Whew! Does anybody know of any other scales? I’ve written these down over the past few years. Half of them I don’t even know what they are. Plus, you have all the narrow gauge variations.
fish scales
highway scales
bathroom scales
That’s quite a list. I don’t know what some of those are.
One more is 7/8n2, uses G track for 2 foot gauge modeling.
Enjoy

Don’t think I saw this one on your list.

Not too many options for loco’s or rolling stock, kitbashing anyone?[:D]

you forgot some of the narrow guage stuff… like HOn3, HOn30, Nn3 and the like
Isn’t 9mm and Nscale the same thing?
Don’t forget that the Japanese version of N scale is actually 1/144th SCALE, using n GAUGE track.
Even within G-gauge (or G-scale, depending on who you want to argue symantics with), there are different scales – 1:20.3, 1:22, 1:32, 1:xx ad infinitum – there must be at least 10 different scales that can be run on G (#1 gauge) track. Now that we’re all thoroughly confused…
And then, there were what I call the “no scale” trains – children’s wind-up and Brio wooden trains, the Jim Beam train set that were actually porcelain decanters, et.al.
