Thanks Craig A scale is absolute - not "generally" (Unless it's something that's just not scaled properly) 1" means 1 inch = 1 foot; that's 1:12 or 1/12 Half-inch is 1/2 inch to the foot, or 1:24, this is close to a 1:25 plastic model car scale, and also close to the "G" scale (LGB Trains) which is 1:22.5 Quarter-inch is 1/4 inch to the foot, or 1:48. This is the same as "O" Scale model railroad, and the ONLY common dollhouse scale that matches common model railroad scales. HO (Half-O) scale is 1/87, not the 1/96 (1/8" scale) used for some architectural models, because it's based on the track gauge, not the scale. There's also a 3/4" dollhouse scale, such as Lundby houses; that's 1:16 A dollhouse in a dollhouse is 1:12 of 1:12 , or 1:144 "N" Gauge rail is 1:160, and many accessories look just fine in a 1:144 mini dollhouse. - Herb |
