The National 2.5 in Gauge Association continues to support live steam passenger hauling in 2.5-inch gauge using MES tracks. They use a "scale" appropriate to the original prototype modelling both standard and narrow gauge locomotives to run on 2.5-inch track. -1:16: 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (89 mm) A worldwide garden railroad scale.
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.
Hesston Steam Museum (dual-gauge lines with 3 ft (914 mm) gauge track also present) (separate 14 in (356 mm) gauge railway and separate 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190.5 mm) gauge railway also present) (operating) Kentucky: Richwood Tahoe Railroad (operating) Louisiana: Bayou Le Zoo Choo Choo (located in Alexandria Zoological Park) (operating) Maine
Henry Greenly's 1:1 blueprint diagrams for 0 to 2½ gauge, a page from the 1924 Bassett-Lowke Catalogue B. Greenly's designs have been celebrated in countless periodicals and books, [4] but the greatest testimony to his skill is the enormous number of his locomotives that are still operating today.
The smallest loading gauge for a 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) gauge railway is the Delhi Metro, which is 3,250 mm (10 ft 8 in) wide and 4,140 mm (13 ft 7 in) tall. Indian Railways has a maximum passenger loading gauge of 3,660 mm (12 ft 0 in) [ 51 ] and a freight loading gauge of 3,250 mm, with development allowing a width of 3,710 mm (12 ft 2 in).
A batch of seven 2-4-0s with 16 in × 22 in (406 mm × 559 mm) bore x stroke cylinders and 5-foot-0-inch (1,524 mm) driving wheels were supplied by Hawthorns between 1858 and 1859 for goods service. Boiler pressure was originally 100 pounds per square inch (6.9 bar ; 690 kPa ), later increased to 120 pounds per square inch (8.3 bar; 830 kPa).
The Douglas Ferreira is a 15-inch gauge diesel-hydraulic locomotive that was built in 2005 by TMA Engineering for on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, England.Its wheel configuration is B-B and was named after the Douglas Ferreira, the former General Manager of the railway from 1961 until 1994.
An 18-inch minimum gauge model of No. 1 was built in 1898, at the Regent Street Polytechnic, from a set of parts supplied by W. G. Bagnall. Amongst the students at Regent Street who worked on the model was Henry Greenly who later became a celebrated miniature locomotive builder and supplied locomotives for the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.
