    1:16: 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (89 mm) A worldwide garden railroad scale. Corresponds to NEM III and NMRA 34 inch. -1:12: 4 + 34 in (121 mm) North America specific scale corresponding to NMRA 1-inch scale. 1:12 is one of the most popular backyard railway scales. -1:11: 5 in (127 mm) Used outside North America. Corresponds to NEM V.

    The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2, 5, 7 + 14 and 10 + 14-inch gauge. As 00 is a particularly British scale, it is not included within this pan-European standard.

    Fn3 scale, together with G scale and 1 ⁄ 2 inch (1:24) scale, are commonly and collectively referred to as "Large Scale" by many modelers. Fn2 scale: 1:20.3: 30 mm or 32 mm Used by mostly American modelers wishing to model smaller industrial prototypes, including two-footers; this is a minority scale.

    Common gauges are 7-1/2" (Western US) and 7-1/4" (Eastern US & rest of the world), 5", and 4-3/4". Smaller live steam gauges do exist, but as the scale gets smaller, pulling power decreases. One of the smallest gauges on which a live steam engine can pull a passenger is the now almost defunct 2 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch gauge. The next largest scale range ...

    For example, a 7/8 violin has a scale of about 317 mm, a 3/4-size instrument a scale of 307 mm, a half-size one 287 mm, and a quarter-size one 267 mm. 1/8, 1/10, 1/16 and 1/32 and even 1/64 violins also exist, becoming progressively smaller, but again in no proportional relationship. (A full-size instrument is described as 4/4.)

    This translates to a hoppus foot being equal to 1.273 cubic feet (2,200 in 3; 0.0360 m 3). The hoppus board foot, when milled, yields about one board foot. The volume yielded by the quarter-girth formula is 78.54% of cubic measure (i.e. 1 ft 3 = 0.7854 h ft; 1 h ft = 1.273 ft 3). [42]
