    100 meters at 1/87 scale is 1.149 meters or 1149 mm
    100 meters at 1/160 scale is 0.625 meters or 625 mm
    625 mm divided by 1149 mm is 0.54395 or 54.395 percent

    Someone wants to convert N to HO, the answer says multiply by 1.84, the reciprocal of 1.84 is 0.54348: https://www.trainorders.com/discussi...d.php?3,437132

    If there's any 3D printing going on here, I'd expect that resin based printers will provide best results for detail.

    No wonder I get tired head lol. At 1:167 and 3' away most detail is lost to me anyways lol. thanks again! I used this math today to scale a HO picnic table to N scale. Worked great but printing was a fail because the STL I used had too fine of connections and werent very stable. CA fixed it
