Inspiration for 1/32nd Scale scale-modeling (3/8ths Scale)

Big, BIG trains and things :-)

1/32nd Scale deserves to be more popular — one of the reasons it isn't is that it can be difficult to search for because of the _variety_ of names people call it: "1:32" scale --and you see the problem with the colon ":"-- 1-to-32 scale, 3/8ths scale, 3/8"-to-the-foot scale, Gauge 1, #1 Gauge, Scale 1, 1 scale, 1/29 scale (sic), "G" scale (sic), "G" gauge, 45mm gauge, l'échelle I, Spur 1, Spur I, Nenngröße eins, Maflstab 1/32, die Königsspur, модели, Jauge 1, 1-spor, Spoor 1, Spoor I, 1番ゲージ, etc—

Different clubs and groups are involved: G1MRA, ALSRM, FREMO:32, Cr2m, East Anglia G1 Group, ...as well as manufacturers like KM1, AristoCraft, Aster (Japan).

1/32nd scale encompasses much more than simply 45mm gauge, known in Europe as 1-normalspur (standard gauge).

There exist specifications for so-called *1m* (meter-gauge) using 32mm (1.25") track, which is also used for 0 gauge 1/48 (US) scale. That is accurate as 40-inches in 1/32nd scale.  This scale is not supported by any manufacturer, to my knowledge...   Why?  1/32nd Scale, Meter-gauge is _the perfect size_ for indoor or outdoor running, modeling, you-name-it, --for appreciating meter-gauge railways and _is the reason why_ Gauge 0 track (Spur Null) is the fraction of Gauge 1 (Spur 1) that it is...

*1e* (Schmalspur) represents the 0.750-meter gauge railways of Germany with "S Gauge" track (22.5mm). 750mm gauge being US 29.5"and the S-gauge 22.5mm track being US 28.3". ...

*1f* (Feldbahn) uses H0 track, from 1/87th scale train sets.  16.5mm-gauge represents half-meter gauge railways.

*1p* (Parkbahn) is 1/32 scale's ride-on-railroad gauge; track is 12mm from N-scale.  15"-gauge is irreducibly 15/32nds of an inch: 0.46875".  Is the exact 11.90625mm close enough to 12mm-gauge of N-scale track???  Does OO9 and HOn30 equipment represent "Grand Scale" (5-inch to the foot) accurately?  I would like to find out!  :-)  The Redwood Valley RailwaY in California is a beautiful example of an operating steam railway, built in 5-inch-to-the-foot scale (Grand Scale).  It is 15" gauge.

*1z* (Zed-bahn) is not a real thing, but logically is constructed using Z-scale, 6.5 mm/​0.256 inch gauge...  7.5-inch gauge track is somewhat popular for ride-on-railroads in North America --

Speculation on my part that for North American narrow gauges, 36/32nds of an inch would be exact for 3-foot gauge; it's very close to P:48 and approximate to O-gauge. Proto48 track is 1.177", which is a gauge of 37.6" ... (O-gauge is 40" gauge). I wouldn't mind an EXACT 36" laid to a gauge of 1-1/16 inches.  The ability to use O scale components is amazing, but you wouldn't have been able to use them AS-IS anyway.  -- If running on existing track (scale be damned) is what you need, then go for it, but I can see if something's a 1/32nd of an inch off.

However, *2-foot gauge* is exactly 24/32nds of an inch, or 3/4ths-inch gauge -- coincidentally the same as the *EXACT 0.75" of On3.*  Here (narrow-gauge to narrow-gauge), reuse will be easier and more appropriate.  SR&RLRY, etc, 2-foot gauge railroads were nice and quirky.  I want to see more of this, specifically.

/rant, rant.
