A 7 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch gauge railway is a miniature railway that uses the gauge of 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm). It is mainly used in clubs, amusement parks and as a backyard railway. Locomotives include steam, electric and diesel types. Most are built to an individual design but some are built from kits.

The smaller gauges of miniature railway track can also be portable and is generally 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (89 mm)/ 5 in (127 mm) gauge on raised track or as 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm)/ 10 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (260 mm) on ground level. Typically portable track is used to carry passengers at temporary events such as fêtes and summer fairs.
The Gauge '3' Society represents this aspect of 2 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch gauge railway modelling with both electric and live steam operation. Gauge '3' corresponds to NEM II scale, also known as "Spur II" in Germany. The National 2.5 in Gauge Association continues to support live steam passenger hauling in 2.5-inch gauge using MES tracks.
Ridable, outdoor gauge, named according to the gauge in inches, and scale in inches per foot, for example 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm) gauge, 1.5 inch scale. The gauge is 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190.5 mm) in the US and Canada, where the scale sometimes is 1.6 inch for diesel-type models. Private and public (club) tracks exist in many areas.

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 ...
