| Gauge: | 45mm and 32mm |
| Prototype Gauge: | 2' and 18" |
SE scale is a designation used by a growing number of modellers to describe miniature (model) trains which run on either Gauge 1 45mm track or O gauge 32mm track. In SE scale, 7/8ths of an inch equals one foot, which is a ratio of 1:13.7. On 45mm gauge track this represents real life narrow gauge railroads that are 2 foot (60cm) gauge, while on 32mm gauge track this represents 18" gauge railroads in real life.
Modelling in a scale where 7/8" = 1'- 0" is relatively new (within the last 20 years) and, as a result, the majority of the modellers build from scratch.
