90-foot (27.43 m) radii on the elevated 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge Chicago 'L'.There is no room for longer radii above this street intersection at this cross junction at the Wells and Lake street intersection in the northwest corner of the loop
Using 32 mm (1.26 in) - 0 gauge - track, there is an extensive range of 16 mm to the foot scale [1:19] live-steam and other types of locomotives, rolling stock and accessories. Many of these models are dual gauge, and can be converted to run on 45 mm ( 1.772 in ) track ( gauge 1 ), and radio control is common.
At present [when?] the choice of gauge is limited to two out of three of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) and broad gauges 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 + 27 ⁄ 32 in) and 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in). With narrow gauges such as 1,000 mm ( 3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in ) as found at Zweisimmen , Switzerland, there is less room between the wheels for the gauge change ...
A winter storm emerging from the Rockies is forecast to bring rain, snow and ice to a large part of the U.S., the National Weather Service said Friday, bringing below freezing temperatures with it ...
Ten and a quarter inch gauge (or X scale) (10 + 1 ⁄ 4 in / 260 mm) is a large modelling scale, generally only used for ridable miniature railways. Model railways at this scale normally confine the scale modelling aspects to the reproduction of the locomotive and with steam locomotives the accompanying tender .

30 mm or 32 mm Used by mostly American modelers wishing to model smaller industrial prototypes, including two-footers; this is a minority scale. While 30 mm track is more prototypically accurate for 2 ft gauge, many modelers use 32 mm track gauge for the convenience of access to O-scale mechanisms, trucks, and track elements. G scale: various
Preventing frostnip can be as easy as dressing children in warm layers, making sure their ears, fingers and toes are well covered. If their clothes end up getting soaked after crashing through the ...
