Many names, particularly those of British origin, such as O14 and 00-9 combine the name of the scale used with the physical measurement of the gauge, i.e. the 7 mm-to-the-foot scale from standard O gauge with a rail gauge of 14 mm, giving a precise representation of 2 ft (610 mm) prototypes.
Part of an HO scale model railroad layout. In model railroading, a layout is a diorama containing scale track for operating trains. The size of a layout varies, from small shelf-top designs to ones that fill entire rooms, basements, or whole buildings. Attention to modeling details such as structures and scenery is common. Simple layouts are ...
G scale or G gauge, also called large scale (45 mm or 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches), is a track gauge for model railways which is often used for outdoor garden railways because of its size and durability. G scale trains use a fixed track gauge of 45 millimetres (1.75 in) to accommodate a range of rail transport modelling scales between narrow gauge (~1: ...
This is the scale which MOROP has defined for O scale, because it is half the size of the 1:22.5 Scale G-gauge model railways made by German manufacturers. [citation needed] 1:43.5: 7.02 mm: Model railways (0) Exact O scale of 7 mm = 1 foot. 1:43: 7.088 mm: Die-cast cars: Still the most popular scale for die-cast cars worldwide, metric or ...
This scale is closely aligned with the "micro layout" movement. IIm scale: 1:22.5: 45 mm Similar to G scale above, this scale also uses 45 mm (1.772 in) gauge track, and is used for both indoor and garden railways of narrow-gauge prototypes. It depicts 1 metre gauge trains in exact proportion to their correct track gauge. 1 ⁄ 2 inch scale: 1: ...
Popularly used for the small scale live steam. No.1: 1:32: 45 mm (1.772 in) Popularly used for the small scale live steam. Corresponds to NEM 1 or NMRA No. 1. No.3: 1:22.6: 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (64 mm) The smallest scale able to pull real passengers. Was one of the first popular live steam gauges, developed in England in the early 1900s.
The original Minories layout was 1 by 7 feet (0.3 m × 2.1 m) in size, with the fiddle yard additional to this. It folded in half lengthwise, using a removable girder road bridge to hide the hinges. A two-section folding baseboard was an obvious plan for a layout, as the sections could fold in on themselves to make a protected storage box.
The maximum width of 10 ft 8 in (3.25 m) on 41 ft 3 in (12.57 m) (AAR Plate B), 46 ft 3 in (14.10 m) (AAR Plate C) and all other truck centers (of all other AAR Plates) are on a 441 ft 8 + 3 ⁄ 8 in (134.63 m) radius or 13° curve. [30] [31] In all cases of the increase of truck centers, the decrease of width is covered by AAR Plates D1 and D2.
