Scale & Gauge: In the context of miniature railways, gauges such as 3½", 5", 7¼", and 10¼” are scaled-down versions of the gauges used in full-size railways. The most widely used gauge in full-size railways is the standard gauge, which measures 4ft 8½in (1,435mm).
Additionally, narrow gauge railways are characterized by tracks that are spaced closer together than standard gauge railways. This closer spacing results in a narrower gauge. The term "narrow gauge" is specifically used to describe railways with tracks that have a reduced width, allowing for more compact and agile operations.
We use the term narrow gauge to describe rolling stock and locomotives which are running on the same gauge as standard scale but are built to a larger scale and are usually from an industrial heritage.
