Chris M Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Most layouts feature under sized trees. Problem is that full scale trees dwarf the trains and just don’t look right. Apparently the average British tree is 65 feet tall! In N that is 13cm or 00 26cm which is about 3 and a half times the height of a loco, and that’s just the average. I don’t recall seeing many 0 gauge layouts with an average tree height of around 18 inches but it would probably look wrong on anything but a very large layout. The tallest tree in Britain is 61 metres high, a whopping 80 cm or so in 00. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
