2. Third rail (model rail) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_rail_(model_rail)

   GarGraves is a North American manufacturer of O gauge three-rail track with all of its rails insulated. Trix Express is a European manufacturer of three-rail track who insulates all three rails. On a simple, non-computerised layout only one train can run independently on either a two or three-rail system (two trains if combined with overhead ...

   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. Gauge '3' corresponds to NEM II scale, also known as "Spur II" in ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_scale

   O scale (or O gauge) is a scale commonly used for toy trains and rail transport modelling.Introduced by German toy manufacturer Märklin around 1900, by the 1930s three-rail alternating current O gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the United States and remained so until the early 1960s.

   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.

   Original definition of Brunel's broad gauge. This rail gauge was soon changed to 7 ft 1 ⁄ 4 in (2,140 mm) [105] to ease running in curves. 2,140 mm 7 ft 1 ⁄ 4 in: South Africa East London and Table Bay harbour railways England Brunel's Great Western Railway until converted to standard gauge by May 1892, See Great Western Railway The "gauge ...

   55n3 - Using 5.5 mm scale (1:55 ratio) with 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge track. Supported by 5.5mm association. On3 – Using O scale (1:48 ratio) with 0.75 in (19.05 mm) gauge track. Probably the second most popular scale. F scale – using 1:20.3 ratio with 45 mm (1.772 in) gauge track. This scale uses the same gauge as, and is derived from the ...

   By Summer, 1945 it was able to resume limited manufacturing of the 3/16s scale O gauge trains. While it did so, the same sized products were re-engineered to run on much more realistic two rail (with a "T" profile rail) track. The fine detail of the diecast engines, tenders and cars that had debuted in the '39 catalog reappeared.

9. Hornby Railways - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornby_Railways

   Both OO and HO use the same track gauge, but their scales are different. Beginning as literally "half O gauge", the HO models of continental prototypes at 3.5 mm/foot (1:87) scale were workable but Hornby chose to slightly increase the scale to 4 mm/foot for the smaller British prototypes, to provide more internal space for a motor.
