009 v. 00 scale

[Michael Hurt]

Just a quick and probably simple question.
Can I use 00 buildings realistically on a 009 layout? If not how to scale 00 buildings suitably.
Thanks.

I am building an exhibition layout with both 00 and 009 and therefore standard and narrow gauges. The building size is the same and the same sized people, whether driving a standard gauge loco or narrow. Scratch building anything to scale is a challenge for me as I am very new to model railways.

That's because both use the same "Scale" 1:76. See Julien's earlier post.

Trouble is manufacturers throw the terms "gauge" and "scale" around as if there's no difference. There is. "Gauge" is the distance between the rails, so OO gauge is 16.5mm and thus the term "OO Gauge" has no meaning whatsoever when applied to buildings where the term "OO Scale" should be used instead.
