  2. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Corporation

    Lionel made many models, including scale models, of actual trains. The Red Comet and Blue Streak sets included models of New York Central's Commodore Vanderbilt locomotive. In 1934, Lionel made a 1:45 scale model of Union Pacific's M10000 diesel streamliner (also called the City of Denver) that runs on O gauge track. It was followed by a model ...

    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 ...

  5. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Rail_transport_modelling_scales

    In O scale terms, this is known as Mini-O Scale and in S Scale terms it is known as Major S Scale. O-27 scale: 1:48 (US) 31.7 mm A Lionel variant on O-scale. Has a slightly shorter profile and sharper 27 inch diameter curves (but also comes in 42, 54 and 72 inch diameter curves) than typical oversized O scale track.

  6. O scale - Wikipedia

    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.

  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.

  8. 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.

  9. High rail - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_rail

    High rails on a model railway layout at the Convention of American Railroadfans in Switzerland, 2006. High rail (also called "hi-rail" and "hirail") is a phrase used in model railroading in North America, mostly in O scale and S scale, to describe a "compromise" form of modelling that strives for realism while accepting the compromises in scale associated with toy train equipment.
