    The best-known activity of the NMRA is the defining of standards, and advisory documents known as Recommended Practices (RP), for model railroad equipment. Many standards defined by the NMRA are widely followed by the industry and modellers, [citation needed] including their H0 scale track and wheel standards (S-3, S-4) and related RPs (RP2, 8, 10-15, and 25) and their Digital Command Control ...

  3. List of rail transport modelling scale standards - Wikipedia

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

    The NMRA published alternative, more accurate and realistic standards for track and wheels sheet in S-1.1 These model railway standards are based on the full size prototype standards and the scale model operational reliability is therefore reduced in comparison to the models conforming to the normal NMRA standards.

  4. 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).

  5. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

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

    About 60% of the world's railways have a track gauge of 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm) known as "standard gauge", but there are also narrow-gauge railways where the track gauge is less than standard and broad-gauge railways where the gauge is wider. In a similar manner, a scale model railway may have several track gauges in one scale.

    The oldest society is 'The Model Railway Club' [5] (established 1910), near Kings Cross, London, UK. As well as building model railways, it has 5,000 books and periodicals. Similarly, 'The Historical Model Railway Society' [6] at Butterley, near Ripley, Derbyshire specialises in historical matters and has archives available to members and non ...

  7. List of model railways - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_model_railways

    This is a list of model railways. The world's first model railway was made for the son of Emperor Napoleon III in 1859 at the Château de Saint-Cloud . [ 1 ] However, "There is a strong possibility that Matthew Murray, who built the geared-for-safety rack engines for John Blenkinsop's coal mine near Leeds, England, was actually the first man ...

  8. TT scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TT_scale

    The direction of the train is determined by the polarity of the power to the rails. Digital train control systems have, just as in other scale, become more and more common. The most popular digital control systems used in TT scale model railways is NMRA-DCC, most commonly using systems from Roco, Uhlenbrock, Kuehn, Piko or Tillig.

  9. HOn30 gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOn30_gauge

    The term HOn30 (and sometimes HOn2½) is generally used when modelling American prototypes while H0e is used for European prototypes. In Britain, the term OO9 is used. [1] All these terms refer to models of narrow-gauge railways built to the world's most popular model railway scale of HO (1:87) but using a track gauge of 9 mm (0.354 in)—the gauge used for N scale models of standard-gauge ...
