It seems like it is what we would call 10mm. I wonder if any of it matches up with micro armor? |

N = ranges from 1/148 – 1/160 depending on country and is huge with 1/285. Z = 1/220 and some buildings might work. Some modern image Japanese trains can be found on EBay in ZZ scale, 1/300. |

I personally mix 10mm and 1/144 figs and have mixed both with N scale terrain and found it to work well. YMMV |

Jack Scruby's original N scale figures were also called 9mm |

Called "9mm" from the N- scale track gauge-- these actually measured about 12mm. |

UK N scale is 1/144. AOTRS Shipyards models are 1/144 and go fine with N scale. We ASSUME 1/144 is 12mm. well 12mm is 6ft so great if your figures are about 6ft tall. Some 10mm ranges are now sort of moving towards 1/144 (12mm ish). Many 10mm troops were more like 12mm tall anyway. We use a mix of Minifigs (as was) and home printed figures. WELCOME TO THE DARK SIDE. |

We scale our vehicles to 1:150th to sit within the N-scale range (1:144th-1:160th) Taking an average human height of 5' 8", that makes our foot figures 11.5mm tall. |
