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.
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.
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 ...

O scale on 16.5mm track, representing 2 ft 4 1 ⁄ 4 in gauge. This scale is widely used to model railways of 2 ft (610 mm), 2 ft 3 in (686 mm) and 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) gauges. [1] The use of a 16.5mm gauge allows the use of 00 gauge mechanisms and wheels. Most commercial equipment is available for this gauge.

Following the patent and release of Harold's Long Scale calculator featuring two knobs on the outside rim in 1914, he designed the Magnum Long Scale calculator in 1927. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] As the name "Magnum" implies, it was a fairly large device at 4.5 inches in diameter—about 1.5 inches more than Fowler's average non-Magnum-series calculators. [ 8 ]
