A 242A1 locomotive and standard gauge track at some model railway scales. This page lists the most relevant model railway scale standards in the world. Most standards are regional, but some have followers in other parts of the world outside their native region, most notably NEM and NMRA.
The NEM standards define the model railroad scales and guide manufacturers in creating compatible products and assist modellers in constructing model railroad layouts that operate reliably. The standards cover areas like suggested grades , turnout radii, wheel profiles, coupling designs and Digital Command Control (DCC) and are mostly scale ...
But nowadays the railroad doesn't base helper engines at Wells so trains must leave Sparks with enough power to climb the 1.4%, making that the division's ruling grade. As such, the term can be ambiguous; and is even more ambiguous if the ruling grade is impacted by the effect of a momentum grade.
Illustration of gradient descent on a series of level sets. Gradient descent is based on the observation that if the multi-variable function is defined and differentiable in a neighborhood of a point , then () decreases fastest if one goes from in the direction of the negative gradient of at , ().

Penn Line produced about a half dozen different locomotives based on prototypes from the Pennsylvania Railroad, hence the choice of the company name Penn Line. In the early 1960s, Penn Line entered the emerging slot car market. They attempted to bring the same realism that they had used in model railroading to slot car racing.
A third factor was that Lionel's and Flyer's manufacturing process was less labor-intensive, which made their designs less expensive to manufacture than the Ives designs they replaced. A notable exception was the Ives 1122 locomotive, first produced in 1929, which was the first near-to-scale model of an existing locomotive to enter the marketplace.
