N Scale Train Set
What scale Train Set is comparable to the scale matchbox cars?
I want to build an ensemble piece for my 8 year old allowing you to use their matchbox like cars on the whole. Although I am not sure that the scale of the trains and buildings would be more comparable to HO scale, N scale, Z scale .... Could someone please help me? Thanks!
Matchbox cars were sized to fit into the box, so small cars are getting bigger, larger, smaller - choose the one that looks good to you. That said, hobby stores and Wal-Mart are leading many 1 / 87 cars (HO scale). The Wal-Mart are cheaper, but the hobby shop tend to be more detailed. For an 8 year old boy I think that if you scale HO or O scale 3 rail, depending on their fine motor skills. I worked at a hobby shop, and found that small hands worked better with big train because it was easier for children to retail on the trains. Trains are also larger stand to be played. HO has a slight cost advantage, but the rail 3 can make sharper turns. established practices and training HO curve radius is 18 inches minimum. That is 3 rail sets come with (but they call it by the diameter, instead of radio, 0-36), but will train set trains O-27, 13 1 / 2 inch radius. Most hobby shops will exchange off the track if it's a concern. Enjoy!
