There are many ways of converting dimensions. Two that spring to mind are calculating the dimensions taken using the 00 scale of 1:76. A second way is to obtain a scale rule with markings to 00 scale and use this for all drawings.
4mm (scale), equals 1 foot (real)
The easiest way is to use a drawing with imperial measurements feet and inches and scale it one foot = 4mm in OO and 3 inches = 1mm in OO.
