The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge standard gauge. Conversely, modeling standard gauge in Lego trains would yield a scaling of (37.5:1435 =) 1:38.3.
Narrow-gauge models in this gauge can be as large as 1:3 scale. 5-inch Live steam: 1:12: 127 mm or 121 mm Ridable, outdoor gauge. The gauge is 5 in (127 mm) in Europe, but 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (121 mm) in US and Canada. For standard gauge prototypes at 5 inch, the correct scale is 1 1 ⁄ 16 inch per foot or approximately 1:11.3. Alternatively 1.1/8 ...

V-scale model railroading was created when Japanese game developer Artdink released A-Train in 1985, but it was not widely popularized until Microsoft released Microsoft Train Simulator (sometimes referred to as MSTS) and Australia's Auran/N3V Games released the successful family of Trainz railroad simulators, both in 2001. With the ability to ...
Ten and a quarter inch gauge (or X scale) (10 + 1 ⁄ 4 in / 260 mm) is a large modelling scale, generally only used for ridable miniature railways. Model railways at this scale normally confine the scale modelling aspects to the reproduction of the locomotive and with steam locomotives the accompanying tender .
Both locomotives underwent extensive testing, with the C&O 2-10-4 chosen to be produced. A total of 125 were built at PRR's shops in Juniata, Pennsylvania; the later 60 locomotives were classified as the J1a. [1] They came to be known as the PRR's "War Babies," but the J1's remained in service into the 1950s.
Additionally, The Sunset Valley Oregon System (Bruce's home model railroad layout) was featured in the February and March 2006 issues of Model Railroader and the 2006 issue of Model Railroad Planning as well as in the March 2007 issue of the NMRA's magazine, Scale Rails.
MTH has announced their intention to install DCS compatible decoders in S scale trains beginning in 2013. [1] Separate sale decoder kits have been offered for installation in all of the above noted scales except H0 and S. DCS is predominantly used in three-rail O gauge. Its chief competitors in three-rail O are Lionel's TMCC and Legacy systems.
