scale differances

[Madd Trucker]

whatis  the  differance  between  1/22.5  and  1/25 th  scale

Well, the difference is 25-22.5=2.5  That is a vague question. What are you specifically looking for? Model in 1:25 scale is smaller than one in 1:22.5 scale.  1:22.5 scale sounds a bit unusual. More like one of the scale used for garden model railroads ( "G" gauge ), not model automobiles.

On a 260” wheelbase truck the 1/22.5 would be slightly over an inch longer than the 1/25, if that gives an idea of the difference.

The difference between 1/22.5 and 1/25 is 10%.

thanks  for  the info   I had ordered a   set of  Preiser  1/24  scale figurs and  mis read  the  scale but  I  will figure out how  to use  them   now  to try  and  get  the  1 /24 Preiser male and  female  figures

They might be a little tall, but since people come in different scales, that should be acceptable. 

I know O scale buildings are close enough to be used without too much concern about being too big.

Now if it were 1/22 scale car....

There used to be a way of telling what scale by the catalog numbers. Looks like the numbering system has changed. 

I think you want to look for 'G' scale items. They are in car model scale.

That is a handy model RR scale chard, but G-gauge track is used for multiple scales.   1:22.5 is one of those oddball scales - that is why I asked the OP.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scale_model_sizes

I use this page a lot when converting scales to 1/24 or 1/25.

Oops, my bad. I meant G gauge.
