In 1842, the first narrow-gauge steam locomotive outside the UK was built for the 1,100 mm (3 ft 7 + 5 ⁄ 16 in)-gauge Antwerp-Ghent Railway in Belgium. [5] The first use of steam locomotives on a public, passenger-carrying narrow-gauge railway was in 1865, when the Ffestiniog Railway introduced passenger service after receiving its first ...

The association covers modelling British narrow-gauge railways in the following gauges: O16.5.O scale on 16.5mm track, representing 2 ft 4 1 ⁄ 4 in gauge. This scale is widely used to model railways of 2 ft (610 mm), 2 ft 3 in (686 mm) and 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) gauges. [1]
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 ...
This scale is also popular in North America to depict 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge prototypes (using dedicated 14.28 mm (0.562 in) gauge track and known as "Sn3"), and elsewhere to depict the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge railways (using H0 scale 16.5 mm / 0.65 in gauge track and known as "Sn3 1 ⁄ 2") of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
Using 32 mm (1.26 in) - 0 gauge - track, there is an extensive range of 16 mm to the foot scale [1:19] live-steam and other types of locomotives, rolling stock and accessories. Many of these models are dual gauge, and can be converted to run on 45 mm ( 1.772 in ) track ( gauge 1 ), and radio control is common.
7 mm scale, also known as British O scale is a model railway scale of 1:43.5 (or 7 mm to 1 ft; hence its name). [1] The scale is thus different from American O scale (1:48) [ 1 ] and European O scale (1:45).
If you look at the gallery there is an O16.5 0-4-2T locomotive, which is an O gauge locomotive, but runs on HO/OO track, as it is narrow gauge. In 2014, Hornby introduced a representation of a preserved four-wheeled Diesel shunter into their budget Railroad range utilising the body from "Dart" from the Thomas The Tank Engine range.
