The "G" originally stood for "Groß" in German, meaning "big," reflecting the larger size of these models compared to others. As you may already know G scale refers to a largest model railway scale that is many times used for garden railways (we encourage you to check out the "Garden Railways" Facebook group for great pics/examples of Garden Railways). G scale has a scale ratio of 1:22.5, meaning the models are 22.5 times smaller than their real-life counterparts.
