Gauge '3' corresponds to NEM II scale, also known as "Spur II" in Germany. The National 2.5 in Gauge Association continues to support live steam passenger hauling in 2.5-inch gauge using MES tracks. They use a "scale" appropriate to the original prototype modelling both standard and narrow gauge locomotives to run on 2.5-inch track. -1:16
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 ...
Often the gauge has little to do with the scale of a locomotive since larger equipment can be built in a narrow gauge railway configuration. For instance, scales of 1.5, 1.6, 2.5, and 3 inches per foot (corresponding to scales of 1:8 to 1:4) have been used on a 7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ( 190.5 mm ) track gauge.
Henry Greenly's 1:1 blueprint diagrams for 0 to 2½ gauge, a page from the 1924 Bassett-Lowke Catalogue B. Greenly's designs have been celebrated in countless periodicals and books, [4] but the greatest testimony to his skill is the enormous number of his locomotives that are still operating today.

Uintah Railway narrow gauge 2-6-6-2T locomotive. Uintah Railway engines 50 and 51, having track gauge of 36 inches, were built by Baldwin in 1926 and 1928 respectively. These engines were simple articulated locomotives rather than compound Mallet locomotives, and they were 2-6-6-2T tank engines carrying coal behind the cab and water on side tanks.
The Douglas Ferreira is a 15-inch gauge diesel-hydraulic locomotive that was built in 2005 by TMA Engineering for on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in Cumbria, England. Its wheel configuration is B-B and was named after the Douglas Ferreira , the former General Manager of the railway from 1961 until 1994.
The Denver and Rio Grande Western K-27 is a class of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotives built for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1903. Known by their nickname "Mudhens," they were the first and the most numerous of the four K classes of Rio Grande narrow gauge engines to be built.
