Rotten Dog Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi, Sorry if this is a dumb question but I notice some terrain manufacturers list their scale as O or HO (and a few other similar terms). How do these compare to malifaux 32mm scale? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaine Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 O is closet, not an exact match (tiny bit bigger) but close enough, especially if its train bits you are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblyn13 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) O and HO are train scales. an O-scale terrain is 1:48, while HO(stands for Half-O) is 1:87 while standard min scales break down: 25/28 mm ≈4.17 mm ≈1:73.2 32 mm ≈5.33 mm ≈1:57.2 Edited July 9, 2011 by goblyn13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bexley Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 (Except in the UK, where O scale is 1:43.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 O scale is close enough for use, if scratch building 1/4" per scale foot works well also. The only problem with O scale is it is usually a bit more difficult to find and a lot more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 (Except in the UK, where O scale is 1:43.) Yep, I used to use O Scale cars from train scenery sets as limos in my old Genestealer Cult Army for 40k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
