How do I find out what scale a toy train is?

I’m trying to sell a train colletion and I don’t know the value or what scale traing I have.. They are variouos kinds,

The answer with the links will help, but lets make a few quick calculations to help you determine the scale. Standard RAIL gauge is 4′ 8.5″, so here is a list of the basic scales and the distance between the rails:

G scale – 45 millimeters between rails
O scale – 32 mm
HO scale – 16.5 mm
N scale – 9 mm
Z scale – 6.5 mm

The Value of your trains is VERY much up in the air… it really depends on their age, running condition, and rarity.

The American Toy Train


The American Toy Train


$27.8


In the 20th century, perhaps no toy has enjoyed as much adulation as the toy train. It seems virtually everyone who came of age before the era of the computer chip was once a scale-size railroad baron, building empires on their parents’ living room floors. As we debark for the 21st century, the popularity of toy trains as playthings has been somewhat displaced by high-tech electronic gadgetry, but their desirability to collectors and hobbyists rolls ahead more determined than ever. PThis chronological history of the toy train celebrates the wares of all prominent American toy train manufacturers from the turn of the century to the present, with special focus on the big three: Lionel, American Flyer, and Marx. All scales are discussed, and the trains themselves are richly illustrated with specially commissioned color photography, archival black-and-white shots, and classic print advertisements. Sure to appeal to collectors, hobbyists crafting sophisticated layouts, and those legions of former pint-size engineers.
