HUUUUUUGE and tiny like an ant

Actually the track is 1.25 inches wide. It is about half the size of the first train models called "Standard Gauge" and was developed to accommodate model toy trains in the smaller homes that were being built after the turn of the century. The engines and cars are about an inch and a half wide and up to 15 inches long depending on the original being modeled.

The name comes from the German groß (meaning "big"). Traditionally, G scale is the use of 45 mm (1.772 in) gauge track, as used for standard gauge (Gauge 1) models, for modelling 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 3⁄8 in) narrow gauge railways, using the correct scale of 1:22.5. Metre gauge is the most common narrow gauge in Europe, where it is known as IIm.
