  2. Model railroad layout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_railroad_layout

    Part of an HO scale 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 ...

  3. Third rail (model rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_rail_(model_rail)

    The main disadvantage of three-rail track is its lack of realism. While some real-world trains do use a third rail, the prototypes for the majority of model railroad operations do not. Lionel tried to improve this situation in the late 1950s with its Super O track, which blackened the middle rail and made it thinner to reduce its visibility.

    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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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.

    a foreshortening technique using N scale model trains in the background (distance) with HO scale in the foreground. mixing 1:43 scale, 1:48 scale and 1:50 scale die-cast models with O scale model trains. using Matchbox cars (1:64 to 1:100) with HO scale and S scale. mixing OO scale British model trains with HO scale models. Both scales run on ...
