Tinkerbell scale

Tinkerbell scale refers to live steam models under 1 inch scale. The term Tinkerbell may also be applied to those that participate in live steam construction and operation in these smaller scales.

Tidbits from Chaski
From Dianne B:


 * So what the heck is "Tinkerbell scale"? Over 50 years around steam and I have never heard of it? 4-3/4"? 3.5"?

From Bob D:


 * Tinkerbell is anything you can still pick up! Mostly refers to 3/4" scale, 3 1/2" gauge I believe.

From Steve M:


 * Anything into which Tinkerbell can fit in the cab

From Harlock:


 * Anything that's not hernia gauge!

from elm53:


 * That 3/4 inch scale Northern in the background of Ed's Dinky is MLS' Jim Turnbull built. It is now back in the family with fellow Tinkerbell Jim Legget.
