2. List of rail transport modelling scale standards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_transport...

   In terms of model railway operation, gauge 3 is the largest (standard gauge) scenic railway modelling scale, using a scale of 13.5 mm to the foot. 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 ...

   Alternatively 1.1/8 inch per foot is adopted, only Australia for ease of conversion. allowing a scale of 3/32 inch per full size inch. This results in an oversize locomotive and often negates building inside valve gear locomotives (such as the GWR King Class 4-6-0) due to frame width restrictions caused by 5 in (127 mm) gauge track.

   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.

   Nevertheless, the locomotive is driven by steam that is created on board the locomotive and is hence a genuine steam locomotive. It is technically possible to build even smaller operating steam engines. Hand-made examples, as small as Z scale (1:220), with a gauge of only 6.5 mm (0.256 in), have been produced. [2]

   The two Manning Wardle locomotives handled all traffic on the railway prior to the re gauging to 15-inch gauge in 1915. Both had heavy repairs one at a time at the Lowca Engine Works around 1892–5, with the fitting of Westinghouse air brake equipment and new smokeboxes .
