NEM gauges are arranged conveniently to use the normal gauge of smaller scales as narrow gauges for a certain scale. For instance, H0m gauge is the same as the TT-scale normal gauge, H0e same as the N-scale normal gauge and H0i same as the Z-scale normal gauge. For H0 and 0 scales, NEM uses the number zero, and NMRA uses letter "O" (HO instead ...
Ridable, outdoor gauge, named according to the gauge in inches, and scale in inches per foot, for example 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm) gauge, 1.5 inch scale. The gauge is 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190.5 mm) in the US and Canada, where the scale sometimes is 1.6 inch for diesel-type models. Private and public (club) tracks exist in many areas.
Thus the scale and approximate prototype gauge are represented, with the model gauge used (9 mm for H0e gauge; 6.5 mm for H0f gauge) being implied. [ 2 ] The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 , 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4 ...
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 ...
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.

A comprehensive narrow gauge On2 scale layout can be accomplished in the same amount of room as a standard gauge HO scale layout because 2 ft gauge prototypes are much smaller than their standard gauge equivalents - a South African 2 ft gauge NG G16 Garratt (2-6-2+2-6-2) is only 48' long whilst an Australian standard gauge NSWGR AD60 Class ...
In rail transport modelling, Sn3½ is a scale/gauge combination derived from S scale to represent narrow gauge 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) track by using 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge track (the same as HO gauge). The scale is 1:64. Sn3½ is popular in South Africa, Australia (particularly Western Australia, [1] Queensland [2] and Tasmania [3] where narrow ...
