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 ...
Fn3 scale, together with G scale and 1 ⁄ 2 inch (1:24) scale, are commonly and collectively referred to as "Large Scale" by many modelers. Fn2 scale: 1:20.3: 30 mm or 32 mm Used by mostly American modelers wishing to model smaller industrial prototypes, including two-footers; this is a minority scale.
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.
Currently, there are a number of programs that are used for 3-D model railroading. Among them are the aforementioned MSTS, Open Rails (which currently uses the routes and rolling stock from MSTS), Auran's Trainz, Rail Simulator, published by Electronic Arts in partnership with Kuju Entertainment, and its successor Railworks, published by Rail Simulator Developments Ltd.

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 .
Z220info 10:31, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Bugger - I just realised I have probably stepped on some toes moving the page back. The way I see thing is that Rail transport modelling scales covers the 1:xxx ratios, "Rail transport modelling" is used rather than "model railway" as it avoids the "model railroad" conflict / issue.
2 mm scale, often 2 mm finescale is a specification used for railway modelling, [1] largely for modelling British railway prototypes. [citation needed] It uses a scale of 2 mm on the model to 1 foot on the prototype, which scales out to 1:152. [1] The track gauge used to represent prototype standard gauge (4 feet 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) is 9.42 mm ...
