Building miniature scenery is an exciting hobby for lovers of railway modeling. Here's how.

All you know about miniature decorations in railway modeling.

Which scale to choose?

Deciding a scale is important because a diorama only becomes credible when it looks more real. This detail represents an essential proportional indicator when purchasing miniature décor elements and modeling accessories.

Scale and size are used to configure the décor to the desired size. They are also used to compare the dimension of the scale model to that of the original object. For example, a ho scale miniature train corresponds to the 1/87 scale, which indicates that the actual train is 87 times larger than its miniature replica. While the N scale is equivalent to 1/160, which means that the replica is 160 times smaller than the actual object.

As for choosing the landscape, here are some tips that can help you:

A G-scale miniature train is best suited for outdoor exhibitions;

A scale N-scale miniature train is smaller and suitable for smaller spaces. This size is best suited for modellers who like finer or sleek decors.
