3 days ago · Track. Shinkansen standard gauge track, with welded rails to reduce vibration. The Shinkansen uses 1,435 mm ( 4 ft in) standard gauge in contrast to the 1,067 mm ( 3 ft 6 in) narrow gauge of most other lines in Japan.
1 day ago · High-speed rail ( HSR) is a type of rail transport network utilizing trains that run significantly faster than those of traditional rail, using an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks.

PA trolley lines were mostly wide gauge with variations. Philadelphia (city tracks, ex-PRT) is 5' 2 1/4" while Red Arrow (P&WCT) and Pittsburgh are 5' 2 1/2.
4 days ago · As with all model railroads, curve radius is the controlling factor (assuming you want a continuous run capability). As you probably know, HO scale is 1/87 and N scale is 1/160. So the size ratio between the scale is about 2:1. The smallest common HO commercial track (Atlas) radius is 18" radius.
6 days ago · O-27 track is noticeably shorter (in height) than O gauge track.These are usually found in starter sets and as add on cars to such sets. However, in O and O-27 gauges, if the prototype is small enough so that when scaled down to 1:48 scale the equipment can negotiate tight curves such as O-31 and O-27, this equipment may be modeled to scale.
4 days ago · Duration: 2 mins. Description. Discussions. Layout Designer Doug Gurin provides some considerations when planning a layout in this video, specifically designing curves. It is important to consider curve radii when setting up a model railroad layout.
