   5 days ago · The width came to be called the "Stephenson gauge." Opinions varied on the best rail gauge and a few British railroads chose different, wider gauges. However, they soon realized their tracks would ultimately have to become compatible with the Stephenson gauge or offload the passengers and freight to a new train when incompatible rails met.

   How far apart were the rails?

   • Laying the rails five feet apart and accounting for two inch wheels and a bit of leeway, the resulting space between the rails, or the rail gauge, was four feet eight and a half inches. Stephenson used that gauge in 1830 when designing the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, the first rail line in England.

   How many gauges did railroads have?

   • From the 1830s through the 1850s, the number of gauges proliferated. For example, the Camden & Amboy railroad, though in the vicinity of the Mohawk & Hudson, chose a four-foot-nine-and-three-quarter-inch gauge. In the South, the Charleston & Hamburg railway was built with a five-foot gauge.

   Why is 4x8 a good size for a railroad?

   • Because that would pretty much be the minimum size for a railroad that could do more than simply allow the train to go around and around. And because, even if 4x8' is a generally accepted minimum size (actually some are built 4x6'),most people have more space available than 2x4', even if they don't have 4x8'.

   4 days ago · Here is what I found: As a general rule of thumb, a given track plan can be built in N-scale in about 1/4 the space needed for HO. So, theoretically at least, a 4x8' HO railroad could be duplicated in N in 2x4'. As with all model railroads, curve radius is the controlling factor (assuming you want a continuous run capability).
