Well, OO is 1/76 (.2) and so it's a little smaller than 1/72. It may be noticable, it may not. It kind of depends on how you place scale pieces against different scale pieces. Hope I helped, Cuhail  |

Jimlolok, OO is 6% smaller than 1/72. Some folks may notice, but if you are using one of the larger DRB lokos, the difference ought to be lost in perspective. If you want to go to the trouble and expense, Revell and Italeri/ESCI made/make several HO German dampflokomotiven: DRB Baureihe 050 Lokomotive , and 2-3 coaches. You can easily match these with HO figures, vehicles, and buildings. |

Fred (above) just opened a thread on this subject. I think the link he pointed out there would be useful here too. http://www.thortrains.net/scale2.html Cuhail |
