What is T gauge in model railways?
T gauge is the smallest commercially available model railway gauge. It has a scale of either 1:450 or 1:480 and a track gauge of 3 mm between the rails, making it just a third of the size of N gauge!
T gauge was first introduced in 2006 at the Tokyo Toy Show by manufacturer KK Eishindo. Layouts are generally operated by batteries (with an option to use traditional mains power) and locomotives use magnetic wheels on steel-rail track to provide traction and a stable electrical connection. An interesting side effect of this set up is the train's ability to climb gradients up to 45 degrees!
Since 2006, the range of rolling stock, buildings and track available in T gauge has slowly increased to include American, European and UK examples, but not in any great quantities, so for most, T gauge remains more of a novel challenge than a means to create a detailed layout in a tiny gauge.
