I would like to add these towers to a Team Yankee gaming table. Does HO scale come pretty close to 15mm scale? |

You can also get ones in 15mm too link |

HO is 18.5mm so it is completely compatible with 15mm. This is especially true if you are putting 15mm figures on bases. FWIW, I put one of BF's buildings in with some HO-scale European buildings and, despite BF claiming it was 10-15mm, the doors were the same size as those on the Kibri buildings. Wyatt |

HO is 18.5mm Where on earth do you get that from? HO is 1/87. Thus 6ft in HO is 20.9mm. |

Where on earth do you get that from? Well, here:
TMP link It's usually rounded to 18mm and there's the associated weirdness of converting a fractional scale to the X=6' metric "scale". But, to your point, HO is closer to "true 20mm" than either 1/72 or 1/76. Wyatt |

Also, a lot of buildings and other items for HO model railroading are produced under scale, so work great for 1/100th scale minis. |

And the high voltage lines really give the feel of a modern table |
