train figures question

Hi Guys,
I am curious, what train figures are accurate for 1/48 scale stuff. I am not sure if it is Ho or a larger scale such as O. I think G is closer to 1/18. I know one of the train scales is generally close to 1/48. Any help is really appericated

O is sometimes 1/48. Other times it is like 1/45.7 or something. Apparently it varies.
I don't do the train thing, but was recently researching which scenery might work with 1/144. (N is pretty close, btw)
Here are some sites I found:

Military figures in 1/48

K-Line has some military figures on the market that are O gauge. O gauge is generally called 1/4 inch gauge. That is 1/4" equals one foot, so 1/48th is the same. 1/50 and 1/43 are kind of close.

HO(OO) is also 1:72 scale if you are from the land of left side drivers...

Guys,
Thanks for the input, I thought it was O scale just by looking at the figure packs at the hobby store, but wasn't sure. I knew it wasn't HO, those guys are way too small!
Interestingly too, G Scale looks to be about 1/20 judging by the size of the figures., THey are about the same size as the Star Wars figures which are a little lower than 1/18. Anyway, thanks again for the input. Time for a trip to the hobby store!
