scale reduction

[smokebox]

Hello group;

I need someone to remind me how to convert something from full size down to 1 1/2" scale!!
I remember from a different fourm someone told me how to drop down to F scale but that was a long time ago, and well now... you get the idea

Thanks,

Robert "smokebox" Wright

You just divide everything by 8 basically. 1-1/2" = 1' is 1/8 of full size (or there are 8 1.5" segments in a foot). The problem is that not everything scales directly. Those adjustments I'll leave to my betters.

Robert, Just convert all dimensions to inches and all fractions to decimals, then multiply by .125 (for 1 1/2" scale)
