Model gauge. 3 mm (0.118 in) Prototype gauge. Commercially available models are of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge. T gauge (1:450 or 1:480) is a model railway scale with a track gauge of 3 mm (0.118 in), referred to as "three-millimeter gauge" or "third of N scale." It was introduced at the Tokyo Toy Show in 2006 by KK Eishindo of Japan and went on ...
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. The popularity of T-TRAK is worldwide ...
N-scale models on Z-scale track are used to model metre gauge (Nn3 [1]). A small amount of 2-foot (Nn2 [1]) industrial narrow-gauge modelling in N scale using custom track is done, but suppliers of parts are few. Nn18 layouts use T-scale track and mechanisms to represent minimum gauge railways. N-scale trains and structures are often used on HO ...
The loading gauge is the maximum size of rolling stock. It is distinct from the minimum structure gauge, which sets limits to the size of bridges and tunnels on the line, allowing for engineering tolerances and the motion of rail vehicles. The difference between the two is called the clearance.
Z scale (1:220) scene of a 2-6-0 steam locomotive being turned. A scratch-built Russell snow plow is parked on a stub (Val Ease Central Railroad). Railway modelling (UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland) or model railroading (US and Canada) is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale.
The trains are battery-powered and run on plastic rail. Bandai makes no accessories for this scale. T scale: 1:450 1:480: 3 mm Announced by Eishindo [10] in 2006 and released for sale in 2008, T gauge is the smallest commercially available model railroading scale in the world. Several trains are available, complete with track, as well as many ...
1:48 1⁄4" scale used for Queensland sugar cane railways[17] and US subjects[18] of 3 ft 6 in. (1,067 mm) ^ O21 – [1] 3 ft (914 mm) ^ O16.5 – UK 7 mm scale with 00 16.5 mm gauge, used to model gauges between 2 ft (610 mm) and 2 ft 6 in (762 mm). ^ O14 – Finescale modelling of British 2ft gauge using 7 mm O scale and a unique 14 mm gauge.
TT scale (from "table top") is a model railroading scale at 1:120 scale with a Track gauge of 12 mm between the rails. It is placed between HO scale (1:87) and N scale (1:160). Its original purpose, as the name suggests, was to make a train set small enough to assemble and operate on a tabletop. The scale originated in the USA, but is today ...
