  2. Rail transport modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling

    Z scale (1:220) scene of a 2-6-0 steam locomotive being turned. A scratch-built Russell snow plow is parked on a stub (Val Ease Central Railroad). Railway modelling (UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland) or model railroading (US and Canada) is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale.

  3. List of rail transport modelling scale standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rail_transport...

    1:22.6. 2 + 1⁄2 in (64 mm) The smallest scale able to pull real passengers. Was one of the first popular live steam gauges, developed in England in the early 1900s. In terms of model railway operation, gauge 3 is the largest (standard gauge) scenic railway modelling scale, using a scale of 13.5 mm to the foot.

  4. Third rail (model rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_rail_(model_rail)

    The main disadvantage of three-rail track is its lack of realism. While some real-world trains do use a third rail, the prototypes for the majority of model railroad operations do not. Lionel tried to improve this situation in the late 1950s with its Super O track, which blackened the middle rail and made it thinner to reduce its visibility.

  5. Bowser Manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowser_Manufacturing

    Model trains and accessories. Bowser Manufacturing is a United States manufacturer of model railroad equipment, located in Montoursville, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1946 by Bill Bowser in Redlands, California, he used his skill as a machinist to design and produce one of the first lines of accurately scaled steam locomotive kits in HO scale.

  6. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_transport_modelling...

    The dominant scale used in the United States for models of "standard gauge" trains running on 45 mm (1.772 in) track, even though 1:32 is more prototypically correct. 1:29 represents standard gauge using 2 in (50.8 mm) gauge track, the original gauge 2. This fell into disuse as gauge 1 at 1.75 inch was very close.

  7. 3 ft gauge railroads in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_ft_gauge_railroads_in...

    This is a list of 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge railways in the United States. Narrow-gauge railroads of various sizes existed across the US, especially during the late 1800s, with the most popular gauge being 3 ft gauge. [1][2] Some of the more famous 3 ft gauge railroad networks in the US were based in California, Colorado, and Hawaii.
