The scale 7/8" in decimals is 0.875" and this is the scale to 12" in a
foot.
So 12 inches in the foot = 13.7 Scale
,875"
2. 45 mm track = 45 mm = 1.77"
25.4 mm/inch
3. In 1: 13.7 scale the 45 mm track is 1.77 x 13.7 = 24" or 2 ft
gauge.
4. Same as 1.77" x scale 1:20.3 = 36" or 3 ft gauge
and 1.77" x scale 1:32 = 56.5" or standard gauge.
Give or take a few decimal places.
Regards,
Harley
