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. Digital model railway control systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_model_railway...

   Digital model railway control systems are an alternative to control a layout and simplify the wiring and add more flexibility in operations. A number of control systems are available to operate locomotives on model railways. Analog systems where the speed and the direction of a train is controlled by adjusting the voltage on the track are still ...

4. Rail transport modelling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling

   Involvement ranges from possession of a train set to spending hours and large sums of money on a large and exacting model of a railroad and the scenery through which it passes, called a "layout". Hobbyists, called "railway modellers" or "model railroaders", may maintain models large enough to ride (see Live steam , Ridable miniature railway and ...

5. List of rail transport modelling scale standards - Wikipedia

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

   NMRA standard S-1.2 covers the popular model railway scales and S-1.3 defines scales with deep flanges for model railways with very sharp curves or other garden railway specific design features. In certain NMRA scales an alternative designation is sometimes used corresponding the length of one prototype foot in scale either in millimetres or in ...

6. Model Railroader - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Railroader

   A longstanding philosophy of modeling is manifest in its editorial features of layout design and operation, in which the model is viewed as a three-dimensional and temporal compression of the real world, so that, for example, the motive power, freight, trackage and scenery of a real-world railroad are formed into a layout which captures the ...

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

   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-inch ...

9. Computer Model Railroad Interface - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Model_Railroad...

   C/MRI (Computer/Model Railroad Interface) is a set of electronic modules that allow a computer to monitor and control real world devices, including those used in conjunction with model railroads. C/MRI was first introduced by Bruce Chubb in the February 1985 issue of the Model Railroader magazine. It appeared again with a four-part series ...
