16 mm scale

16 mm to 1 foot or 1:19.05 is a popular scale of model railway in the UK which represents narrow gauge prototypes.

There are a number of commercial manufacturers of 16 mm scale models[3] as well as many enthusiastic amateurs who build their own rolling stock.

Because real 2 ft (610 mm) railways were most commonly found in the UK, many of the models are of British prototypes.

Although not perfect, the low cost opened the hobby to a much wider range of people and as a result demand for other products grew.

Accucraft UK have built high quality live steam models of locomotives of the Talyllyn Railway, the Lynton & Barnstaple, and Welshpool & Llanfair.
