The Southern Railway-built batches had a narrow 8 ft 6 in (2.591 m) footplate due to the width-restricted Hastings Line between Tonbridge and Hastings [25] but these were never used on this duty and the cab was widened to 9 ft (2.743 m) on the British Railways batch. [26]
OO gauge or OO scale (also, 00 gauge and 00 scale) is the most popular standard gauge model railway standard in the United Kingdom, [1] outside of which it is virtually unknown. OO gauge is one of several 4 mm-scale standards (4 mm to 1 ft (304.8 mm), or 1:76.2), and the only one to be marketed by major manufacturers.
The tunnel will have 13 cross-passages, spaced every 500 m (1,640 ft), and 5.5 m (18.0 ft) wide. [12] The eastern portal at Water Orton will have a porous portal, likely in the form of a perforated concrete structure, to mitigate the sound and shockwave produced by the piston effect of moving trains, travelling 230 km/h (145 mph).

The first OO gauge model of an as-built locomotive was produced by Graham Farish in 1950 followed by Hornby/Wrenn in 1962 and by the modified version. [75] In 1959, Tri-ang Railways produced a TT gauge version of Clan Line. [76] Hornby and Graham Farish currently produce the rebuilt version of the class in OO gauge and N gauge respectively.
Trains on the Shinkansen network operate on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge track and have a loading gauge of 3,400 mm (11 ft 2 in) maximum width and 4,500 mm (14 ft 9 in) maximum height. [46] This allows the operation of double-deck high-speed trains.
They had suitable ability on passenger duties to haul a considerable load at any reasonable speed. [20] The last batch of 2-4-2 radial tanks entered service in 1911 and these more moreful superheated L&YR Class 6 were allocated to run some express passenger services to some extent as the unrebuilt Hughes 4-6-0 had multiple problems and the ...
Protofour or P4 is a set of standards for model railways allowing construction of models to a scale of 4 mm to 300 mm (1 ft) (1:76.2), [1] the predominant scale of model railways of the British prototype. For historical reasons almost all manufacturers of British prototype models use 00 gauge (1:76.2 models running on 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge ...
An OO gauge model of the Class 3F was first produced by Tri-ang in 1952 and production continued after the company became Hornby Railways in the 1970s. Hornby released a retooled version in 1978 with better detailing and continue to produce that model for their "Railroad" range.
