Difference between Rail transport modelling and Track gauge

Rail transport modelling vs. Track gauge

Railway modelling (UK, Australia and Ireland) or model railroading (US and Canada) is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale. In rail transport, track gauge is the spacing of the rails on a railway track and is measured between the inner faces of the load-bearing rails.

Similarities between Rail transport modelling and Track gauge

Rail transport modelling and Track gauge have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Locomotive, Narrow-gauge railway, Overhead line, Rail transport, Rail transport modelling scales, Standard-gauge railway, Track (rail transport), Track ballast.

Locomotive

A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train.

Narrow-gauge railway

A narrow-gauge railway (narrow-gauge railroad in the US) is a railway with a track gauge narrower than the standard.

Rail transport modelling scales

Rail transport modelling uses a variety of scales (ratio between the real world and the model) to ensure scale models look correct when placed next to each other.

Track (rail transport)

The track on a railway or railroad, also known as the permanent way, is the structure consisting of the rails, fasteners, railroad ties (sleepers, British English) and ballast (or slab track), plus the underlying subgrade.

Track ballast

Track ballast forms the trackbed upon which railroad ties (sleepers) are laid.

Rail transport modelling and Track gauge Comparison

Rail transport modelling has 212 relations, while Track gauge has 232. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 1.80% = 8 / (212 + 232).
