Thus the scale and approximate prototype gauge are represented, with the model gauge used (9 mm for H0e gauge; 6.5 mm for H0f gauge) being implied. [2] The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2, 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch ...
Lima was a popular, affordable brand of 00 gauge and N gauge model railway material in the UK, more detailed H0 and N gauge models in France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the United States as well as South Africa, Scandinavia and Australia. Lima also produced a small range of 0 gauge models. Lima partnered with various distributors and ...
This scale is also popular in North America to depict 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge prototypes (using dedicated 14.28 mm (0.562 in) gauge track and known as "Sn3"), and elsewhere to depict the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge railways (using H0 scale 16.5 mm / 0.65 in gauge track and known as "Sn3 1 ⁄ 2") of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
This gauge is represented by the EM Society (in full, Eighteen Millimetre Society). 00 track (16.5 mm) is the wrong gauge for 1:76 scale, but use of an 18.2 mm (0.717 in) gauge track is accepted as the most popular compromise towards scale dimensions without having to make significant modifications to ready-to-run models. Has a track gauge ...
There are two massive HO scale layouts, a 1,200 sq ft (110 m 2) N scale layout, a 2,700 sq ft (250 m 2) O scale layout, and a Lionel type 3-Rail O gauge Toy Train gallery. Cabrillo & Southwestern (O scale). This 2,700 sq ft (250 m 2) layout is a freelance representation of a route from San Diego to Sacramento. Pacific Desert Lines (N scale).
The terms N scale and N gauge are often inaccurately used interchangeably, as scale is defined as ratio or proportion of the model, and gauge only as a distance between rails. The scale 1:148 defines the rail-to-rail gauge equal to 9 mm exactly (at the cost of scale exactness), so when calculating the rail or track use 1:160 and for engines and ...

Building this minimum-size layout requires a small gauge. Most pizzas use 9mm gauge, as for N gauge. [5] Z gauge [6] and the esoteric smaller gauges would be useful too, but their costs are more than 9mm and there are fewer options available. Other gauges up to the popular H0/OO 16.5mm gauge are also used, [2] but almost only as narrow gauge ...
