O Scale Central (Previously O Scale Kings)

O Scale Central promotes O Scale 2-Rail (OS2R) model railroading and provide resources for O scale modelers including orientation for first-timers. O scale is the modeling of trains, structures, and people at the scale of a one-quarter inch equals one foot (1/4″= 1′). This scale is also expressed as a ratio of 1/48. OS2R includes a variety of 2-Rail gauges: O (Traditional O), Proto 48, On3, On30, and On2. O Scale Central is working with NMRA to build the visibility of OS2R and cooperate with NMRA on both the national and regional levels.

O Scale Central is focusing on 2-Rail 1/48 modeling; however, 3-Rail Scale modelers are welcome as many elements are common to all 1/48 modeling. Many 2-Rail 1/48 modelers started with 3-Rail trains.

The upgraded O Scale Central website is a key source of 2-Rail modeling. The O SCALE 2 RAIL PRODUCT GUIDE™ is a major additional source for products and supplier information. Other pages include MODELING IDEAS and REFERENCE as well as other topics.

Pages are being updated and simplified so watch for changes. Each part promotes OS2R and provides easy access to information for 1/48 modelers and visitors from beginners to scratch-builders. Getting started is a major focus. The network is free to view; there are no hidden costs to the user. There are additional benefits for members.

O Scale Central was called O Scale Kings. Membership in O Scale Central is a good way to meet others with similar interest as well as to access more modeling information with a 1/48 focus.
