into 5-1/2” in HO scale. The 1” width translates into just over 7’
in HO scale. The 2” with piece translates into just under 15’ in
HO scale. If you add together the 1” and the 3/8” pieces they
translate into exactly 10’ in HO scale. The larger width pieces
can be used to make such things as a double, double-hung
window, or perhaps for six double-hung windows next to each
other for use in an interlocking tower. Now I’ll explain how I
construct my jigs.
For the base I use 1/8 “-thick aluminum. These are usually cut
