Lego trains use a fixed nominal gauge of 37.5 mm (1 + 15 ⁄ 32 in), based on 5-stud track centerlines gauge. [5] [6] [7] The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge ...
Mixed gauge: 5 in (127 mm), 5 + 7 ⁄ 10 in (145 mm) and 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm) gauges are all in use on this model-miniature railway., [1] [2] there is also one at Denmark’s railway museum in Odense, [3] [4] [5] one at the Tramway Museum Skjoldenæsholm, Jystrup, Ringsted, [6] and many other model-miniature railways in Denmark [7] [8] [9 ...

Originally, various track gauges were used in the United States.Some railways, primarily in the northeast, used standard gauge of 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm); others used gauges ranging from 2 ft (610 mm) to 6 ft (1,829 mm).

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.
Lego trains use a nominal gauge of 37.5 mm (1 + 15 ⁄ 32 in), based on 5-stud track centerlines gauge. This is circa 5.5 mm wider than O gauge (30 mm [1.181 in] – 33 mm [1.3 in]). [5] [6] [7] The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge ...
The Washington Metro uses 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (1,429 mm) gauge, which is 6 mm (0.24 in) narrower than standard gauge. The Bay Area Rapid Transit system uses 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm). The San Francisco cable car system uses 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm).
