Photo shows a RailKing figure with a true O scale figure.

RailKing standing male = 4 foot 6 inches

O scale standing figure = 6 foot

The shorter figure is actually perfect for S gauge (1/64 scale).

The shorter figure at 4.5 feet in O scale (1/48) must measure 1.125 inches in reality.

S gauge is 3/16 (0.1875)=1 foot

The question then is "How many 3/16 are there in 1.125 inches?

1.125 / 0.1875 = 6 feet

Both figures now measure 6 feet tall.

S scale on the left, O scale on the right.

He could also work with AF and Marx 3/16" on O-Gauge trains! That makes him an O-Gauge figure. Maybe not an O-Scale one, but he could be an O-Gauge guy! LOL
