Lindberg Lighthouse Kit - What Scale?

That's the one. Ordered it. It is 1/160th (N Scale) so I also ordered the Revell Germany
1/160th 'Goethe' Paddle Wheel Passenger Steam Ship kit. Just need to get some Preiser N Scale figures and I will be all set for a great diorama.

I pulled mine off the shelf to verify the scale, and compared it to my HO-scale firefighter figure from Revell's Firefighter model, which is definitely HO scale. Based on the comparison, I'd say the lighthouse is closer to N scale. The rail fences come up to my HO-scale figure's knee, and the roof of the little attached structure (living quarters?) only comes up to the figure's chest. So, I'm guessing at about 1/2 of HO scale, or about 1/160. I'm new on the forum, but if you contact me, I'll be happy to send you digital comparison pix.

I understand it to be HO scale1/87th.
