What are the scale sizes for models?
Miniatures and models are made in a very wide range of scales. Here are the most popular modeling scales: 1:100 scale, 1:72 scale, 1:56 scale, 1:48 scale, 1:35 scale. For tiny models: 1:300 scale, 1:144 scale. Doll and action figures: 1:18 scale (3 3/4 inch), 1:6 scale. Using on model railways this works: 1:160 (N), 1:148 (British N), 1:102 (TT), 1:48 scale (US O), 1:43,5 (O).
Some modeling scales are chosen because they are easy to measure. An example, 1:100 scale and 1:50 scale is popular among architectural modelers who use the metric system.
Some information that may be useful: 28mm miniatures are somewhere between 1:50 scale to 1:64 scale. If you’d like to use model trains that are close to this, I’d recommend the 0 gauge (1:43 to 1:48 scale), these are the most accessible. Z0 gauge (1:60 scale) also works but that range is more limited and expensive. S gauge models are 1:64 scale, and they could work fine for 1:64 scale models (for example, the Space Marines from Games Workshop), but if you compare the 1:64 train to the 1:64 model on its base, the train will look smaller than in reality, so it wouldn’t hurt if you get a slightly larger train than the scale you are aiming for.
