2. 2-6-6-2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-6-6-2

   Five engines built in 1912 for the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf Railroad, later Kansas, Oklahoma and Gulf Railway were slightly smaller. [25] The most unusual engines of this wheel arrangement were the twelve cab-forward examples built for the Southern Pacific Railroad, class MM-2, in 1912. Like all cab-forward engines they were oil fired; they ...

3. 2-6-2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2-6-2

   The 2-6-2T layout was popular for large narrow gauge engines, but the design was modified to allow the use of a firebox much wider than the track gauge. A standard gauge 2-6-2T normally has inside frames and the firebox is placed between the second and third coupled axles. A narrow gauge one, on the other hand, has outside frames and the ...

4. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

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

   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 ...

5. 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 ...

   Being nearly identical, it too has the distinctive odd-sided hexagonal shape. These engines can be fitted in rear wheel drive vehicles with the right bellhousing and are used in hot rods, kit cars, sand rails and late model engine swaps.

7. 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 ...

8. Digital model railway control systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_model_railway...

   Digital model railway control systems are an alternative to control a layout and simplify the wiring and add more flexibility in operations. A number of control systems are available to operate locomotives on model railways. Analog systems where the speed and the direction of a train is controlled by adjusting the voltage on the track are still ...

9. On30 gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On30_gauge

   Layout Stirmouth & Southern Railroad Company in On30 gauge, based on the Bachmann Industries models.. On30 (also called On2 1 ⁄ 2, O16.5 and Oe) gauge is the modelling of narrow gauge railways in O scale on HO (16.5 mm / 0.65 in) gauge track in 1:48 scale ratio by American and Australian model railroaders, in 1:43.5 scale ratio by British and French model railroaders and 1:45 by Continental ...
