MOROP (the European federation of national model railway associations) is a European organisation which publishes NEM-standards.NEM-standards are used by model railway industry and hobbyists in Europe.
This 35 mm wide rail is widely used to mount circuit breakers, relays, programmable logic controllers, motor controllers, and other electrical equipment. The EN 60715 standard specifies both a 7.5 mm (shown above) and a 15 mm deep version, which are officially designated top hat rail IEC/EN 60715 – 35 × 7.5; top hat rail IEC/EN 60715 – 35 ...

Conversion of three-rail cars for two-rail operation, or vice versa, is thus a common practice among hobbyists. It requires either replacing the bogies (wheel assemblies) on the car, or replacing metal axles with axles made of a non-conductive material. The main disadvantage of three-rail track is its lack of realism.
Bullhead rail was the standard for the British railway system from the mid-19th until the mid-20th century.
