G scale was introduced by Ernst Paul Lehmann Patentwerk under their brand name
of LGB, meant for indoor/outdoor use.
The term "scale" is a misnomer, as the actual scale of the trains that run on it
vary from system to system, country to country. G scale is more correctly called
"G Gauge", as the gauge of the track, 45 mm or about 1.75 inches, is the one
consistency.
Traditionally, G scale is
the use of 45 mm gauge track, as used for standard gauge (Gauge 1) models, for
modelling 1,000 mm (3 ft 3⅜ in) narrow gauge railways, using the correct scale
of 1:22.5. Metre gauge is the most common narrow gauge in Europe, where it is
known as IIm.
Some people think that the "G" in G Scale stands for Garden Scale This is also a
misnomer, but the term Garden Trains has pick up usage over the last several
years in the media to describe G Scale Trains.
Gn15 modelers use 1:24 scale parts and details along with HO/00 scale track
(16.5 mm gauge) to model 15 inch gauge railroads, otherwise known as minimum
gauge.
