2. Third rail (model rail) - Wikipedia

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

   Early O gauge track pieces. All metal, with a small fibre insulating washer beneath each central rail chair. All metal, with a small fibre insulating washer beneath each central rail chair. The use of a third rail in rail transport modelling is a technique that was once applied, in order to facilitate easier wiring.

3. O scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_scale

   O scale (or O gauge) is a scale commonly used for toy trains and rail transport modelling.Introduced by German toy manufacturer Märklin around 1900, by the 1930s three-rail alternating current O gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the United States and remained so until the early 1960s.

   A new line of scale-sized freight cars, called "Standard O", was introduced that same year. The new line of trains included the Blue Streak Freight, an entry-level O-27 gauge train set produced by Lionel. The set included a blue Jersey Central Lines steam locomotive with a 2-4-2 wheel configuration and attached tender car.

   Of these, O gauge is the most popular. An O gauge Marx toy train set made in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The modern standards for toy trains also include S gauge, HO scale, N scale, and Z scale, in descending order of size. HO and N scale are the most popular model railway standards of today; inexpensive sets sold in toy stores and catalogs ...

   This scale is also popular in North America to depict 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge prototypes (using dedicated 14.28 mm (0.562 in) gauge track and known as "Sn3"), and elsewhere to depict the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge railways (using H0 scale 16.5 mm / 0.65 in gauge track and known as "Sn3 1 ⁄ 2") of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

   This layout is one of the finest O scale layouts in North America, modelling Southern Ontario in the 1950s. People can enjoy seeing a model of the Southern Ontario countryside, as well as late steam locomotives and first-generation diesel locomotives pulling trains down the line. [ 100 ]
