You think you have problems with the size of figures. We railway
modelers in
the UK have for OO scale the manufacturers scale of 4mm to the foot,
running
on HO scale track (16.5mm width). There is also EM gauge/scale, in which
the
track is "closer" (but still not exactly correct) to width, and P4 in
which
it is scale (18.83mm width, I think). So, you figure modellers have it
EASY
chosing between 6, 15, and 25 mm.
