I want to know if one of these buses meet ho scale/ standard model railroad scale? Thanks!!!

I believe it to be larger than HO scale.i'm pretty.sure but not positive, sorry.

Definitely larger than HO scale. This model is larger than my Lionel steam locomotive, which should line up as at least equal size. If you keep searching, I believe there is one that is considerably smaller and may work for an HO model...

As I work only in HO scale, I would be reluctant to advise you about anything dealing with S guage. I can suggest that you might get in touch with Model Train Stuff as they have answered several teachical questions for me in the past. You can find their contact information on the Internet.

I would think it would work fine with N scale. On my HO layout I use it to test section of track that are 35' long so it should have enough power for N scale in my opinion. If you had a very large layout you might need a bigger power pack.Good luck and Merry Christmas

I wouldn't want to offer an opinion on that. Here's the URL for Bachmann trains: http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/service.php They have a tech support team that is (in my experience) very responsive to inquiries. Thanks, Steve

Yes. I have (and will continue to) run both of my G Scale layouts using the mrc 1300

It is normal sized, it does need a few upgrades however. The servos have worked fine for me! I did go through a puddle and found out the stock speed control is not water proof. This truck does not come with a battery, that's another thing to think about. But it is the 1/8th scale so it's not huge but the usual size! Buy it! It's worth it!:)

its 1/64 scale to a monster truck...same scale as the hotwheels, only to a bigger vehicle.

I don't think they'll be compatible since these tracks are HO scale and Power Trains are normally N scale. Thanks

It is 14" long and is 1/82 scale, extremely close to HO (model train) scale or 1/87, so HO figures and extra parts will match it.

Yes, you can mix freight cars from any brands as long as they are HO scale. No tracks are not interchangeable. You will need to know what type of lock (snap) system they have. Have fun shopping. Dan

Hello. Yes. This car will work with the O gauge set. Basically, the "O" refers to the size, or scale of the locomotive, cars, track, and accessories of a given train set. The term "gauge" refers to the distance between track rails. O gauge track measures 1.25 inches from outer rail to outer rail. Anything that is O gauge should run fine on O track. In the O gauge model railroad world, the size of curves is designated in terms of diameter (radius in HO scale). Historically, Lionel produced O gauge train sets that could operate in small spaces... very tight curves. O-27 indicates that the item, be it a locomotive or some piece of rolling stock, can handle curves as tight as 27 inches in diameter. Some locomotives and some rolling stock cannot handle such tight curves. I no longer have my polar express set, but if I remember correctly, the curves that come with the set are O-36. That just means that, when assembled, the curved sections will have a 36 inch diameter/18 inch radius. Hope that is helpful.

N scale and HO scale are different model train scales. N scale model trains are smaller (about half the size) than HO scale trains, and so do not mix well together. For example, an HO scale 4-axle diesel locomotive (probably an F7) would be about 7 inches ling, whereas an N scale locomotive of the same type would be probably about 3.5 inches long.

The track in this set is HO scale which is very popular. You can add as much track as you like to make many different layouts. Just look on Youtube for HO scale and see some very large realistic train layouts. You can buy HO track on line ot at many hobby shops. Prices vary.

This is a close call and hard to decide. If given the option of HO or N scale, I would prefer the smaller N scale. The miniature scaled train sets are much more compact and takes up less room to set up however it requres a higher degree of skill to work the smaller sets so for beginners and kids I would reccomend the larger scale HO scale.

I recently purchased an Athearn Trainpak Power Pack for our HO Scale train system. It works very well and we are well satisfied with the purchase.

I am not positive of the size of HO Steam Engines... can you give me measurements, and I can compare them to the Disney cars characters GW keeps in his case.

Yes, the ones in the package use the same scale. I read an article of them that they want to make the big ships and probably will use a different scale for then, witch I think is reasonable.
