Track gauge - Ten and a quarter inch gauge railway trains (10.25 inch)
This long established track gauge working out at approx. one fifth of standard gauge.
Originally almost all railways were built to this gauge with scale models but in
recent years narrow gauge prototypes have become more common and equivalent to half
scale of normal narrow gauge locomotive. This allows two adults to sit side by side
inside the engines and carriages.
This is an old established railway track gauge with many railways built to this size
in the past. The gauge is the distance between the rails measured from the inside
edges.
The railway at Rudyard Lake is 10.25 inch in gauge ( the distance between the rails)
and to narrow gauge proportions.
Rudyard Lake Steam Railway is one of the largest of the track gauge in the UK if
not the world especially the size of the trains and rolling stock The links above
tell the story of Rudyard and its ten and a quarter (10.25) inch gauge railway trains.
