2. GNR Stirling 4-2-2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNR_Stirling_4-2-2

   The outcome in 1870 was a locomotive with 8 ft 1 in (2,460 mm) driving wheels, designed specifically for high-speed expresses between York and London. The British norm at the time were inside cylinders. However, not only were there frequent failures of the cranked axle shafts, with such large driving wheels they would have set the boiler too high.

3. List of rail transport modelling scale standards - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_transport...

   This gauge is represented by the EM Society (in full, Eighteen Millimetre Society). 00 track (16.5 mm) is the wrong gauge for 1:76 scale, but use of an 18.2 mm (0.717 in) gauge track is accepted as the most popular compromise towards scale dimensions without having to make significant modifications to ready-to-run models. Has a track gauge ...

4. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

   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.

5. Bar stool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_stool

   Bar stools are often made of wood or metal. There are bar stools with and without armrests, backs, and padding or upholstery on the seat surface. Bar stools can range from basic wooden designs to more complex ones with adjustable height. Extra tall and extra short are common features, as well as indoor bar stools and outdoor bar stools.

6. Live steam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_steam

   For instance, scales of 1.5, 1.6, 2.5, and 3 inches per foot (corresponding to scales of 1:8 to 1:4) have been used on a 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (190.5 mm) track gauge. The generally accepted smallest gauge for a live steam locomotive is O scale. Producing smaller-scale models remains problematic, as the laws of physics do not themselves scale: creating ...

7. Standard Gauge (toy trains) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Gauge_(toy_trains)

   Standard Gauge, also known as wide gauge, was an early model railway and toy train rail gauge, introduced in the United States in 1906 by Lionel Corporation. [1] As it was a toy standard, rather than a scale modeling standard, the actual scale of Standard Gauge locomotives and rolling stock varied.
