multiply with 25mm to get from inches to mm.

Check Microscale for decals, some N scale can be used for Z scale.

There is a better tool for conversion and can be related to scale as well.

Download ScaleCalc 1.0 Free - Simple calculator designed for scale models fans. - Softpedia

"http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Math-Scientific/ScaleCalc.shtml"

ScaleCalc is the tool you can convert any measurement in 1:1 scale to any other measurement in addition you can convert real dimensions to scale dimensions in any scale not just the popular trains scales. Got a drawing in N-scale and you want HO pop the dimensions into scalecalc and view the result.

 

1 inch = 2.54 cm
12 inches = ~30.5 cm = 1 foot
3 feet =~0.914 m = 1 yard

What I discovered when reading most of the modelrailroading magazines, dealing mainly with Horribly Oversized is that between HO and Z there is a 2.53 ratio (see above).

So every size and data given in inches on an HO trackplan can almost be translated into centimeters when shifting from HO to Z.:tb-wink:

Funny, isn't it?

" = inches
' = feet.

This seems to be a MAC program. Is there one for Windows? I didn't see one.
