1:220 miniature configurator

What is the scale 1:220 used for?

The 1:220 scale is mainly used to depict large industrial plants, port complexes, model railways and dioramas. Thanks to its compact size, this scale is ideal for depicting realistic scenes even in confined spaces. The 1:220 scale is particularly popular in the model railway sector, where it is known as Z gauge.

What does the scale 1:220 mean?

The scale 1:220 means that a model is 220 times smaller than the original. One unit on the model corresponds to 220 units in reality. For example, a building with a height of 220 meters is reduced to 1 meter in the model. Despite the miniature size, the level of detail is maintained, allowing fine structures and complex scenes to be accurately recreated.

Why is the 1:220 scale so popular?

The 1:220 scale offers a unique combination of compactness and attention to detail:
• In the model railway sector (Z gauge): Model railways in 1:220 scale are ideal for creating large landscapes and complex scenes in a small space. They allow model railway enthusiasts to create impressive layouts without requiring a lot of space.
• In diorama construction: The ability to represent large areas such as industrial settlements or port facilities in miniature makes the scale perfect for realistic dioramas that delight both collectors and model building enthusiasts.
• Accuracy in detail despite 3D miniature size: The scale 1:220 is the smallest nominal size at which fine details such as 3D figures, buildings and landscape structures can still be clearly recognized and precisely represented.
How is the scale 1:220 implemented?
The 3D miniatures and models in 1:220 scale are manufactured with the highest precision in order to reproduce all important details even in the smallest of spaces. Especially in the model railway sector, the Z gauge makes it possible to create complete landscapes with train stations, industrial complexes and settlements. Great importance is attached to ensuring that the models are both visually appealing and robust and functional.

Conclusion

The 1:220 scale is an excellent choice for model makers, diorama creators and model railway fans who want to create realistic scenes in a limited space. Whether for the representation of port facilities, industrial complexes or complex landscapes - this scale offers a perfect mix of compactness and richness of detail. In the model railway scene in particular, the Z gauge has established itself as the standard for space-saving, impressive systems.
