What is MTH Rail King 1 Gauge?

1 gauge is large scale, like LGB. It's two rail DC powered stuff for garden layouts.

1:32 scale, to be precise, and the trains operate on track with a gauge of 45mm--kind of the "standard" in the world of Large Scale model railroading.

Gauge 1 is 1.32. O scale is 1.48. O gauge is 1.43.

Western Hemisphere O scale (2 or 3 rail) is 1:48; British and most (?) European O is 1:43.5.

"O" scale is/was actually "0" (zero) scale, hence its relationship to:
#1 scale, which is a proper scale at 1:32; this is what MTH uses with its Large Scale
items. Very nice.

"G gauge" is pretty much anything they feel like at the time - kinda
like 3-rail O, it has a "toy" component.

Thanks for the information guys. Obviously, 1 Gauge cars do not fit Lionel Fastrack. I just wanted to make sure so I do not accidentally purchase a 1 gauge boxcar thinking it will run on my layout. Thanks again. -- Terrence

No, you can be sure that they won't fit on O gauge track, and they would sure wreak havoc with your bridges and tunnels even if they did fit!
