A 1:87 scale means that one unit of measurement on the model is equivalent to 87 units on the actual object. Commonly used in model railroading, particularly for HO scale trains, this scale allows for detailed and manageable representations of real-life objects. For example, if a real train is 87 feet long, its model would be 1 foot long in 1:87 scale.
