Model Railroading > Am I using the correct math ( theory)?

Kato n scale is 1/160 of the real item. That should mean that I would multiple a 9.73 inch piece of kato track by 160 to find out what length that piece of track actually represents.

That is correct.

Although, being from England I have to point out (by law) that you've spelt 'maths' wrong... ;-)

English"s written and spoken flexibility is a foundation of the modern world.

And Canada tries to play it both ways. i.e. just a slight difference in how they talk in Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax.

Don't get me started on aluminium/aluminum!! If it's a metallic chemical element ending in an 'm' it has to end in 'ium'!! Lol

Hey, don't forget 'depot' (as opposed to deeeeepot)... omg...

And if you make an error when pencilling in your UK train lineup, feel free to use a rubber.

My brother's future wife was visiting England. At one stop she boarded at a hotel. The bellhop brought the luggage up and then asked, "Would you like me to knock you up in the morning?". She was quite embarrassed, but it was quickly explained it means to get a wake up call (knock on the door?) in the morning.
