Ten and a quarter inch gauge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ten and a quarter inch gauge (or X scale) is a large scale, generally only used for ridable miniature railways. Model railways at this scale normally confine the scale modelling aspects to the reproduction of the locomotive and with steam locomotives the accompanying tender. Rolling stock is generally made to carry passengers or maintenance equipment and is not to scale.

[edit] Locomotives

Generally model trains at this scale are individually hand-made, however between 1963 and 1964, Lines Bros Ltd using their combined Tri-ang and Minic brand names produced a commercial system under the name the Tri-ang Minic Narrowgauge Railway, or T.M.N.R.

[edit] Rolling Stock

Rolling stock is normally supplied in the form of seaside coaches.
