To find the scale being used, we need to compare the length of the train figure to the length of the real train in the same unit.

First, we need to convert the length of the real train from feet to inches, since the length of the train figure is given in inches:

50 feet = 50 x 12 inches = 600 inches

Now we can compare the lengths:

Scale = Train figure length / Real train length

Scale = 10 inches / 600 inches

Scale = 1/60

Therefore, the scale being used is:

Answer: Scale 1 inch: 60 feet (written as 1:60)
