   Alternatively 1.1/8 inch per foot is adopted, only Australia for ease of conversion. allowing a scale of 3/32 inch per full size inch. This results in an oversize locomotive and often negates building inside valve gear locomotives (such as the GWR King Class 4-6-0) due to frame width restrictions caused by 5 in (127 mm) gauge track.

   Live steam. A hand-crafted, coal-fired, 1:8 scale 2-10-0 'live steam' locomotive in 71⁄4 in (184 mm) gauge. A "high line" representation of a Whitelegg-designed Baltic Tank in LT&S Livery. This engine runs on a track gauge of 3.5 inches and is powerful enough to pull several people. High lines are a configuration of a continuously elevated ...

   Gauge '3' corresponds to NEM II scale, also known as "Spur II" in Germany. The National 2.5 in Gauge Association continues to support live steam passenger hauling in 2.5-inch gauge using MES tracks. They use a "scale" appropriate to the original prototype modelling both standard and narrow gauge locomotives to run on 2.5-inch track. -1:16

   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. It ran on three-rail track whose running rails ...
