Hi Ronald:

The closest model railroad scale figures for your Graupner "Glasgow"
would be "O-Scale" which is 1:48 (1/4" or 7mm:ft)

I once posted a complete model railroad guide for scales/figures on
Paddleducks, but I can't find the post so I'll try some of the main
ones from memory.
Z - 1:220
N - 1:160 (2mm:ft)
TT- 1:120
H0- 1:87 (3.5mm:ft)
00- 1:76 (4mm:ft)
S - 1:64 (4.76mm:ft)
0 - 1:48 (1/4" or 7mm:ft)

If you think some of these scales don't jive correctly, you're
right..they can be confusing, but they're accurate enough for our
purposes.

Other useful non-railroad scales for obtaining model ship figures can
be found in the following military and aircraft modeling scales:

1:35
1:72
1:144

Paul.
I have the following scales for railroads. Hope they help.
Gauge 00 4mm = 1Foot Roughly 1: 76
Gauge 0 7mm = 1Foot Roughly 1: 44
Gauge 1 10mm = 1 Foot. Roughly 1: 30

Do you need gauge 2 as well??
Regards
