Protofour or P4 is a set of standards for model railways allowing construction of models to a scale of 4 mm to 300 mm (1 ft) (1:76.2), [1] the predominant scale of model railways of the British prototype. For historical reasons almost all manufacturers of British prototype models use 00 gauge (1:76.2 models running on 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge ...
In the present day, the larger highly accurate wood and wire ship models in the scale of one inch to 1200 inches or 1:1200, is are what command the high prices at auction. These hand crafted ship models continued to be sold commercially until the mid1960's and had also been purchased by the military for recognition and war gaming purpose.
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 ...
The Narrow gauge line crossed the road at Littleworth, and portions could still be seen in the 1960s. [3] The same family owned the Nocton potato railway, much of whose equipment was re-used for the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway. [4] The line at Littleworth was the same 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.
4 mm scale is the most popular [1] model railway scale used in the United Kingdom. The term refers to the use of 4 millimeters on the model equating to a distance of 1 foot (305 mm) on the prototype (1:76.2). It is also used for military modelling. For historical reasons, a number of different standards are employed. [2]
