Z scale is one of the smallest commercially available model railway scales (1:220), with a track gauge of 6.5 mm / 0.256 in. Introduced by Märklin in 1972, Z scale trains operate on 0–10 volts DC and offer the same operating characteristics as all other two-rail, direct-current, analog model railways. Locomotives can be fitted with digital ...
1:12: 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in (121 mm) North America specific scale corresponding to NMRA 1-inch scale. 1:12 is one of the most popular backyard railway scales. -1:11: 5 in (127 mm) Used outside North America. Corresponds to NEM V. One of the most popular garden railway scales. Common gauge for live steam-1:8: 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (184 mm)
The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2, 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch gauge. As 00 is a particularly British scale, it is not included within this pan-European standard.
One of the smallest (Z scale, 1:220) placed on the buffer beam of one of the largest (Live steam, 1:8) model locomotives. Rail transport modelling uses a variety of scales (ratio between the real world and the model) to ensure scale models look correct when placed next to each other. Model railway scales are standardized worldwide by many ...
Matchbox and Hot Wheels use this scale to describe their vehicles, although the actual scale of the individual models varies from 1:55 to beyond 1:100. Same as S Scale. Also called 3 ⁄ 16 in. scale. Known as 25 mm figure scale in wargaming circles. [12] 1:60.96: 5.000 mm Common scale for pre-1970s hobbyist miniature wargaming figures.

Z tables use at least three different conventions: . Cumulative from mean gives a probability that a statistic is between 0 (mean) and Z.Example: Prob(0 ≤ Z ≤ 0.69) = 0.2549.
The Baldwin DR-12-8-1500/2 (known informally as the Centipede) was the Baldwin Locomotive Works' first serious attempt at a production road diesel locomotive. The Baldwin type designation was ' DR-12-8-1500/2 , ' meaning D iesel R oad locomotive, with 12 axles ( 8 of which were driven), and two engines of 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW) each.
