There is only one real way, unless you bought it new, when it will say the guage on the box. With second hand models, if you measure the distance betweren the weels and divide it by the actual size, you will get the ratio of the size
S model train is the scale - S scale (Just a FYI, scale is the size of the train) S scale is 3/16 inch to the foot, sort of half way between O gauge and HO.
Yes the stock on a Winchester Model 12 16 gauge is the same as a 20 gauge. 16 gauge,20 gauge, and 28 gauge are all the same for the Winchester Model 12. Thanks, Tim
Gauge refers specifically to the size of the rail, while scale can be used for anything. scale 1:10 means that things in the model are 1/10 the size of reality.
The Winchester 140 12 gauge has a choke barrel at 28". This is the same choke size as the 20 gauge model.
there is track width (measured from mid rail to mid rail) and track gauge (measured from inside rail to inside rail. As that is the most important size of track, that is normally the distances referenced to. normal distance for track gauge is 1435 mm
HUUUUUUGE and tiny like an ant Actually the track is 1.25 inches wide. It is about half the size of the first train models called "Standard Gauge" and was developed to accommodate model toy trains in the smaller homes that were being built after the turn of the century. The engines and cars are about an inch and a half wide and up to 15 inches long depending on the original being modeled.
one of the early model steam trains
The HO scale is used for measuring when it comes to model trains. Originally there was the O scale, or O gauge. When train models went to an even smaller size they created the HO scale to measure them.
20 gauge #71/2 for bird/squirrel. Buckshot for self defence.
No, a pencil is not a size 0 gauge size but a 4 gauge.
Differs some from model to model, but most are 10mm wide. sales@countrygunsmith.net
