This has been posted before but, in light of the recent discussion regarding rail sizes, I thought it might be useful again. Someplace I saw a list of common rail weights for various uses - yard, mainline, etc. Can anyone provide this again?
Art Armstrong ----------------------------- >From Rick Blanchard's website "da trains" >http://www.urbaneagle.com/data/RRrailsizes.html SCALE RAIL SIZES A question that seems to come up now and again is what size rail does "code xx" equate to in the prototype? I took the data from the 1939 American Railway Engineering Association standards for rail sizes and converted it to the equivalent scale sizes prototype prototype S-scale weight height height 90# 5 5/8 0.088 100# 6 0.094 110# 6 1/4 0.098 120# 6 1/2 0.102 130# 6 3/4 0.105 140# 7 0.109 150# 7 3/4 0.121 SHS PRR track http://www.showcaseline.com/ 155# 8 3/8 0.131 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
