2. Model railroad layout - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_railroad_layout

   In model railroading, a layout is a diorama containing scale track for operating trains. The size of a layout varies, from small shelf-top designs to ones that fill entire rooms, basements, or whole buildings. Attention to modeling details such as structures and scenery is common. Simple layouts are generally situated on a table, although other ...

3. Inglenook Sidings - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglenook_Sidings

   Inglenook Sidings, created by Alan Wright (1928 - January 2005), is a model railway train shunting puzzle.It consists of a specific track layout, a set of initial conditions, a defined goal, and rules which must be obeyed while performing the shunting operations.

4. Fiddle yard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiddle_Yard

   The track at the bottom goes to the scenic section of the layout. A fiddle yard or staging yard is a collection of model railway tracks that are hidden from view and allow trains to be stored and manipulated by the operators. [1] [2] These tracks are used to allow most model railways to be operated in a realistic manner. Whilst it is possible ...

   Layout Stirmouth & Southern Railroad Company in On30 gauge, based on the Bachmann Industries models.. On30 (also called On2 1 ⁄ 2, O16.5 and Oe) gauge is the modelling of narrow gauge railways in O scale on HO (16.5 mm / 0.65 in) gauge track in 1:48 scale ratio by American and Australian model railroaders, in 1:43.5 scale ratio by British and French model railroaders and 1:45 by Continental ...

7. Rail transport modelling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling

   The largest live steam layout, with 25 miles (40 km) of track is Train Mountain in Chiloquin, Oregon, U.S. [3] Operations form an important aspect of rail transport modelling with many layouts being dedicated to emulating the operational aspects of a working railway. These layouts can become extremely complex with multiple routes, movement ...

8. List of narrow-gauge model railway scales - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_narrow-gauge_model...

   Railway modelling has long used a variety of scales and gauges to represent its models of real subjects. In most cases, gauge and scale are chosen together, so as to represent Stephenson standard gauge. By choosing a smaller gauge than this for a particular scale, the model represents a narrow-gauge example. [1] [2]

9. T-Trak - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Trak

   T-TRAK (all letters capitalized) is a modular model railroad system based on standards for module size, track placement, track interface, and electrical connections. The standards allow for a wide range of flexibility in design yet still maintain interoperability with all modules built per the standards.
