Your model locomotive is 18 inches long. It is an exact model of a locomotive that is 72 feet long. How many times wider is a window on the locomotive than a window on the model?

72 f ee t = 72 ∗ 12 in c h es = 864 in c h es
ratio:
18 : 864
or:
1 : 48
so window is 48 times wider normaly than in this model

A window on the locomotive is 48 times wider than a window on the model locomotive. This is determined by calculating the length ratio of the model to the actual locomotive. Since the model is a scaled-down version, this ratio applies to width as well.
