Welcome to 78n18 scale
Welcome to 78n18 scale, the site where we live for model trains in 7/8in scale on 32mm gauge tracks. Focus for this site is both models and real-life trains with 18-20inch gauge, like the ones at Woolwich and Waltham Abbey in the UK.
Back in history, 18-20in gauge track has been used for both estate, industry, mining and for military sites.
This site replaces the old 78n18.info site.
