    A Japanese H0e scale model railroad One of the smallest (Z scale, 1:220) placed on the buffer bar of one of the larger (live steam, 1:8) model locomotives HO scale (1:87) model of a North American center cab switcher shown with a pencil for size Z scale (1:220) scene of a 2-6-0 steam locomotive being turned. A scratch-built Russell snow plow is ...

  3. 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 ...

    Selectrix is an early digital model train command control system developed by German company Döhler & Haas for model railway manufacturer Trix in the early 1980s. Since 1999 Selectrix is an open system supported by several manufacturers and standardized by MOROP.

    The NEM standards define the model railroad scales and guide manufacturers in creating compatible products and assist modellers in constructing model railroad layouts that operate reliably. The standards cover areas like suggested grades , turnout radii, wheel profiles, coupling designs and Digital Command Control (DCC) and are mostly scale ...

  6. Digital Command Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Command_Control

    Digital Command Control (DCC) is a standard for a system for the digital operation of model railways that permits locomotives on the same electrical section of track to be independently controlled. The DCC protocol is defined by the Digital Command Control Working group of the US National Model Railroad Association (NMRA).

  7. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling...

    One of the smallest (Z scale, 1:220) placed on the buffer beam of one of the largest (Live steam, 1:8) model locomotives. Rail transport modelling uses a variety of scales (ratio between the real world and the model) to ensure scale models look correct when placed next to each other. Model railway scales are standardized worldwide by many ...

  8. Glossary of North American railway terms - Wikipedia

    When a train has made a full brake application due to adverse event, or has lost its train air due to a defective valve (a "kicker"), or a broken air line or train separation. The train crew will normally declare that they are "in emergency" over the train radio, thus warning other trains and the dispatcher that there is a problem.

  9. Chloridometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloridometer

    A chloridometer is a measuring instrument used to determine the concentration of chloride ions (Cl –) in a solution.It uses a process known as coulometric titration or amperostatic coulometry, the accepted electrochemistry reference method to determine the concentration of chloride in biological fluids, including blood serum, blood plasma, urine, sweat, and cerebrospinal fluid.
