Jersey Barrier - Question of Scale | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

cubalzOGR Forum Member

I am looking for some jersey barriers for my o scale layout and I happen to find a guy that 3D prints them and they look great but they are 1/50 scale. How noticeable, if at all, would these be against 1/48 scale?

I am worried about buying them and being disappointed.

Any help or comments would be appreciated!

Do you know how high a Jersey barrier is? If not, don't worry, you won't notice the difference, especially if they guy who's making them doesn't either. An O scale Jersey barrier would be about three hundredths of an inch higher than a 1/50th one.

According to Wikipedia they are 32" tall. You can do the math and decide.
