  2. Scale model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_model

    Static model rocket kits began as a development of model aircraft kits, yet the scale of 1:72 [V.close to 4 mm.::1foot] never caught on. Scales 1:48 and 1:96 are most frequently used. There are some rockets of scales 1:128, 1:144, and 1:200, but Russian firms put their large rockets in 1:288. Heller SA offers some models in the scale of 1:125.

  3. Howe truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howe_truss

    The only maintenance a Howe truss requires is adjustment of the nuts on the vertical posts to equalize strain. [1] The diagonals in a wooden Pratt truss proved difficult to keep in proper adjustment, so the Howe truss became the preferred design for a wooden bridge [1] or for a "transitional" bridge of wood with iron verticals. [2]

    Used by Heller for model ships, and proposed by the Japanese to supersede 1:144 scale trains. Models which are commonly made in scale at 1:150 are commercial airliners - such as the Airbus A320, Boeing 777 all the way to the jumbo jets - the Airbus A380 & Boeing 747.

    The Troitsky Bridge Building Competition is an annual event that takes place at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the spring. Participating teams of engineering students come from universities across Canada and the United States. They design and build model bridges out of popsicle sticks, toothpicks, white glue and dental floss.

    Thus the scale and approximate prototype gauge are represented, with the model gauge used (9 mm for H0e gauge; 6.5 mm for H0f gauge) being implied. [ 2 ] 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 ...

  8. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Rail_transport_modelling_scales

    The ScaleSeven Group defined more scale measures more strictly (e.g., the model gauge of 33 mm is fixed). Apart from standard gauge, it also defined Irish and Brunel gauges to this scale. Proto:48: 1:48: 29.90 mm These are to the same scale as US O gauge but are accurate scale models in all dimensions including track and wheels. OJ: 1:45: 24.0 mm
