Can I use this with my ho scale?

Not sure, purchased this for my O-gauge Lionel layout. My suggestion is go to Google Search and ask the same question, you'l probably get a fewhundred responses. Good Luck....

Who is the manufacturer of your equipment? The reason I ask is that the MTH Z 1000 is designed for AC engines. Marklin requires AC. The majority of other HO manufacturers use DC for their locomotives. By the way, I have layouts in Z, HO (AC and DC), Lionel O and Marklin 1 gauge. I never did decide on which gauge I liked the best! :) Tom

The Z1000 is an AC transformer, most HO trains are DC. So to answer your question.. I would say no.

Sorry, but no. This transformer is for MTH (Mike's Train House) Rail King (AC) type models only. You would be better off getting one of the MRC transformers.

Not really. You have to use a VERY LIGHT container or it kind of messes with the accuracy. The scale actually comes with a clear plastic cover that works very well as a weigh container...

Yes you can. The plastic cover simply protects the scale from dust. Verify the dimensions of the scale b4 you purchase to be sure you can get all your weighables on the scale itself.

Not sure. Thought when I was looking into this that it could. You probably should ask the vendor. Very nice scale for $800.00. Looked at others, up to $2500.00, and this one does all that they do and for a bargain price.

The increment scale is on 5 lb each so it would be best guess and yes you can use an adapter

You could, if the gauge worked... Mine was faulty out of the box. Check the other reviews.

no I don't think you do. it is pretty much the same software. It will pick up the type of scale you have. and in addition to that from what i recall it came with the software

Hello Rebecca,Your answer is no, unfortunately. It's only in pounds. You need to convert the fraction of the pound to ounces if you need it. But it is a quality scale, otherwise.Phil.

You can try it, worse case just send it back, but I don't think it will work. Maybe you could see if you can mount it on your meter. It's a very helpful tool.

Yes, just make sure the surface is dry, dirt free and if there's any rust use a wire brush to remove the scale.

I do believe that this is HO scale. The train I bought this track for was advertised as HO scale but as this was a gift, I can't say for certain.

Not sure, bought this scale and it was broken, they wanted me to send it back to fix at my cost. My opinion, do not buy this. Check Ali Baba they have a scale that is cheaper that is equivalent.

I don't see why you couldn't, but why bother? The gauge that comes with it is easy to read and fairly accurate. You may need it one day.

I dont see why not. I weigh large envelopes that are 15 x 10 1/2". The only problem would be that you wouldnt be able to see the weight on the scale because the box may overhang. I find it to be accurate and great for the price.

Absolutely! And it pretty accurate on the 10A scale. Just connect leads to +10 jack and GND jack. Set meter on 10A scale. Be careful here. Set meter up before applying current. [because when you turn selector switch, you do go through other scales/ranges that might exceed a scale/range.] Remember! Current is usually a series measurement. The meter is inserted between source and load.Also, there is a caution in the manual about exceeding 10A and 10A in general. Normally you select meters and ranges such that you operate in the middle to upper 75% of a scale. Usually, you obtain the best accuracy here. This scale isn't fused! Absolutely!

I don't run G scale and am not at all familiar with the power needed to operate it. I model HO and N (later on)The 1300 operated both those well but I have some 2.5 grade runs and had to move up to the Tech7. As I add rail I willn have to move up again. I would not recommend it for G scale based on what I have experianced.

Depending on your area, it might not be compliant with county weights and measures. The reason being is that the scale cannot be calibrated. It is factory set and cannot be altered.
