The line was built in 1848. The station was closed in 1961 but the line through the station remained open for passenger trains until 5 October 1970 and re-opened on 7 June 1971 for Peterborough-Spalding services. The intermediate stations, including Littleworth, were not re-opened.
In terms of model railway operation, gauge 3 is the largest (standard gauge) scenic railway modelling scale, using a scale of 13.5 mm to the foot. The Gauge '3' Society represents this aspect of 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 -inch gauge railway modelling with both electric and live steam operation.
Also used in Australia to model 2'6" and other narrow gauge prototypes. On3: 1:48: 19 mm O-scale models of 3 ft narrow-gauge prototypes running on 3 ⁄ 4 in (19 mm) gauge track. O16.5: 1:43.5: 16.5 mm British narrow gauge running on HO gauge track. Prototypes of many diverse gauges are depicted in this scale, as well as fictitious lines.
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 ...
Mar. 15—Dover police are investigating after the body of a missing Ossipee woman was found in a wooded area behind a local business Wednesday. Around 7:58 a.m. on March 13, Dover police ...
The towns and villages served by the route are listed below; [4] Peterborough; Spalding; Sleaford. connections with Grantham–Skegness line; Ruskington; Metheringham; Lincoln; After an upgrade in 2015, the route through to Lincoln (and beyond to Doncaster) has a regular role as a diversionary route for trains from the East Coast Main Line, primarily for slower freight services but ...
Models are built to scale, defined as the ratio of any linear dimension of the model to the equivalent dimension on the full-size subject (called the "prototype"), expressed either as a ratio with a colon (ex. 1:8 scale), or as a fraction with a slash (1/8 scale). This designates that 1 inch (or centimeter) on the model represents 8 such units ...
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). For standard gauge railways, 32mm gauge, or 0 gauge is most commonly used. [1]
