Finescale standards or Fine Standards [1] are model railway standards that aim to be close to the prototype dimensions. Reduction in toylike, overscale flanges, pointwork , etc. In Britain it is particularly used because small British prototypes meant that track gauge is underscale.
Proto and finescale rails and wheels are generally not compatible with the normal scale model railway material with the same scale ratio. Proto scale was originally developed by the Model Railway Study Group in Great Britain in 1966 and later adopted into NMRA standards with modifications necessary for the North American prototype railway ...
3 mm scale, also known as 3 mm finescale, is a model railway scale of 3 mm : 1 ft (305 mm) used for British prototypes. Introduced as British TT gauge , it sits approximately halfway between British N gauge and OO gauge but is not as popular as either and there is no longer any mass manufacturer ready-to-run support.
2 mm scale, often 2 mm finescale is a specification used for railway modelling, [1] largely for modelling British railway prototypes. [citation needed] It uses a scale of 2 mm on the model to 1 foot on the prototype, which scales out to 1:152. [1] The track gauge used to represent prototype standard gauge (4 feet 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) is 9.42 mm ...
George Sellios was the owner of Fine Scale Miniatures (FSM), a business dedicated to producing detailed model kits of structures for model railroad enthusiasts. He is also an accomplished modeler and is well-known in the hobby for his layout, the Franklin & South Manchester Railroad which attracts visitors from around the world.

The company was founded in 1933 by Emanuele Stieri, a prolific how-to writer, and was the first editor-in-chief of the fledgling publication. [3] Published by Model Craftsman Publishing Corp., the company moved headquarters from Chicago to New York City in 1934.
The 3D ACIS Modeler (ACIS) is a geometric modeling kernel developed by Spatial Corporation (formerly Spatial Technology), part of Dassault Systèmes.ACIS is used by software developers in industries such as computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-aided engineering, architecture, engineering and construction, coordinate-measuring machine, 3D animation, and shipbuilding.
