2. List of rail transport modelling scale standards - Wikipedia

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

   Model railway scales and gauges are standardized in NEM 010, [1] which covers several gauges for each scale. Narrow gauges are indicated by an additional letter added after the base scale as follows: no letter = standard gauge (1,250–1,700 mm or 49.2–66.9 in) m = metre gauge (850–1,250 mm or 33.5–49.2 in) e = narrow gauge (650–850 mm ...

3. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Rail_transport_modelling_scales

   The dominant scale used in the United States for models of "standard gauge" trains running on 45 mm (1.772 in) track, even though 1:32 is more prototypically correct. 1:29 represents standard gauge using 2 in (50.8 mm) gauge track, the original gauge 2. This fell into disuse as gauge 1 at 1.75 inch was very close.

4. Live steam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_steam

   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 ...

5. OO gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OO_gauge

   OO gauge or OO scale (also, 00 gauge and 00 scale) is the most popular standard gauge model railway standard in the United Kingdom, [1] outside of which it is virtually unknown. OO gauge is one of several 4 mm-scale standards (4 mm to 1 ft (304.8 mm), or 1:76.2), and the only one to be marketed by major manufacturers.

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

7. N scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_scale

   9 mm (0.354 in) Prototype gauge. Standard gauge. N scale is a popular model railway scale. [1] Depending upon the manufacturer (or country), the scale ranges from 1:148 to 1:160. Effectively the scale is 1:159, 9 mm to 1,435 mm (4 ft in), which is the width of standard gauge railway. However the scale may vary to simulate wide or narrow gauge rail.

8. List of EMD locomotives - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_EMD_locomotives

   The SC and SW switchers were the first locomotives produced in EMC's new factory after its completion in 1936. The pre-SC and Model 90 switchers were development design locomotives outshopped in 1935. Model designation. Build year. Total produced.

9. NZR G class (1928) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NZR_G_class_(1928)

   95–100. Last run. 1956. The NZR G class was a type of Garratt locomotives used in New Zealand, later rebuilt as Pacific type locomotives. They were the only Garratt type steam locomotives ever used by the New Zealand Railways (NZR). They were ordered to deal with traffic growth over the heavy gradients of the North Island Main Trunk (NIMT ...
