Minimum and ridable miniature railways

For ridable miniature railways and minimum gauge railways, the gauges are overlapping. There are also some extreme narrow gauge railways listed. See: Distinction between a ridable miniature railway and a minimum gauge railway for clarification.

Model railway gauges are covered in rail transport modelling scales.

Train with model Southern Railway Schools class.
Triple-gauge pointwork (3+1⁄2 in, 5 in, and 7+1⁄4 in) on the Orchid Line. The upper right branch does not include the 3+1⁄2 in gauge.

Narrow gauge

Railways with a track gauge between 500 mm (19+3⁄4 in) and 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge.

Diamond crossing dual gauge double line narrow-gauge and standard-gauge.
