Europa's gravity is approximately 13% of Earth's. The temperature on Europa varies from −160 °C at the equator, to −220 °C at either of its poles. [145] Europa's subsurface ocean is thought to be significantly [clarification needed] warmer however. It is hypothesized that because of radioactive and tidal heating (as mentioned in the ...
The first sets consisted of up to 4 Formula 5000 cars. The track (which stayed the same throughout successive generations of cars) was wide enough for two cars side by side and had raised edges along both sides to prevent the cars from leaving the track. No more than one or two cars could be controlled and raced. They were controlled by the ...
The term HOn30 (and sometimes HOn2½) is generally used when modelling American prototypes while H0e is used for European prototypes. In Britain, the term OO9 is used. [1] All these terms refer to models of narrow-gauge railways built to the world's most popular model railway scale of HO (1:87) but using a track gauge of 9 mm (0.354 in)—the gauge used for N scale models of standard-gauge ...
Lego trains use a fixed nominal gauge of 37.5 mm (1 + 15 ⁄ 32 in), based on 5-stud track centerlines gauge. [5] [6] [7] The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge ...

The dominant scale used in the United States for models of "standard gauge" trains running on 45 mm (1.772 in) track, even though 1:32 is more prototypically correct. 1:29 represents standard gauge using 2 in (50.8 mm) gauge track, the original gauge 2. This fell into disuse as gauge 1 at 1.75 inch was very close.
Former President Bill Clinton has been discharged from the hospital after being treated for the flu, a spokesperson said on Tuesday. Clinton, 78, was admitted to the hospital in Washington on ...
1:29 G scale boxcar by Aristo-Craft on G gauge track 1:32 scale 2-bay offset hopper by Mainline America. 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.
