   The National 2.5 in Gauge Association continues to support live steam passenger hauling in 2.5-inch gauge using MES tracks. They use a "scale" appropriate to the original prototype modelling both standard and narrow gauge locomotives to run on 2.5-inch track. -1:16: 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (89 mm) A worldwide garden railroad scale.

   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.

4. 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.

   OO scale (left) and HO scale (right) models of the EMD Class 66, showing the size difference. OO scale permits a level of detail including weathering and individual numbering. 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in ) gauge at 4 mm:1 foot means that the scale gauge represents 4 ft 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,257 mm), 7 inches (178 mm) narrower than the prototype 4 ft 8 + 1 ...
