Model Railways
FGO Layouts
Gauge" and "scale" are used interchangeably in the hobby; however, this is not correct terminology. "Scale" refers to the size of the model but "gauge" is the width between the insides of the track rails. For the sake of clarity I refer to the layouts with their scale names, not gauges.
Originally called the Train Room Layout, it is OO scale 1:76, gauge 16.50mm. This layout, unlike the G and Z doesn't have running water, although there is a possibility that I might change this at a later date.
An addition to the main layout is the Amusement Park with a narrow gauge railway, using rolling stock in HOe scale 1:87 and OO9 scale 1:76, the track is 9 mm gauge.
Also included is a guest's layout 'Les's Steam Junction'
In the UK, N is 1:148 scale but in the USA, Europe and Japan the scale used there is usually 1:160, but they all use 9mm gauge track.
The smallest of my layouts has a scale of 1:220 and a gauge of 6.50mm, with a stream with running water flowing down from the mountains in a never ending cycle.
G, scale 1:22.50, gauge 45mm, this is my garden layout with a canal and locks, featuring running water. There is also a pond in the garden but this has its own section.
This section is for articles that include multiple scales and gauges, and also articles that are not scale specific.
