    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_scale

    S scale (or S gauge) is a model railroad scale modeled at 1:64 scale, S scale track gauge (space between the rails) is 22.48 mm (0.885 in). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] S gauge trains are manufactured in both DC and AC powered varieties.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewing_gauge

    A sewing gauge is a ruler, typically 6 inches long, used for measuring short spaces. It is typically a metal scale, marked in both inches and centimeters with a sliding pointer, similar in use to a caliper .

    In the UK, S scale modelling is largely the preserve of a dedicated few hand-building models or using a small number of available kits and parts, mostly depicting standard gauge prototypes but also narrow and broad gauge subjects too. The UK-based S Scale Model Railway Society is the oldest scale support society in the world, being first ...

    High rails on a model railway layout at the Convention of American Railroadfans in Switzerland, 2006. High rail (also called "hi-rail" and "hirail") is a phrase used in model railroading in North America, mostly in O scale and S scale, to describe a "compromise" form of modelling that strives for realism while accepting the compromises in scale associated with toy train equipment.

    Standard gauge is defined both in metric and in imperial units. It is also the best-known gauge worldwide; 55% of the world uses this track. In 2020, China’s rail network is standard gauge, with around 79,685 km (49,514 mi) of line. [92] 1,440 mm 4 ft 8 + 11 ⁄ 16 in: Switzerland

  7. Standard Gauge (toy trains) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Gauge_(toy_trains)

    Standard Gauge, also known as wide gauge, was an early model railway and toy train rail gauge, introduced in the United States in 1906 by Lionel Corporation. [1] As it was a toy standard, rather than a scale modeling standard, the actual scale of Standard Gauge locomotives and rolling stock varied.

  8. The Federal Reserve's favored inflation gauge came in lower than expected in November, but it still remains above the central bank's target level as they continue efforts to wrestle inflation down.

  9. Gauge (instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(instrument)

    The gauge is placed against the edge to be checked and any light leakage between the blade and edge indicates a mismatch that requires correction. Ring gauge: a cylindrical ring of steel whose inside diameter is finished to gauge tolerance and is used for checking the external diameter of a cylindrical object. Strain gauge
