Standard Scale Modern Trains
Standard gauge was an early model railway and toy train rail gauge, introduced in the United States in 1906 by Lionel. As it was a toy standard, rather than a scale modeling standard, the actual scale of standard gauge locomotives and rolling stock varied. It ran on three-rail track that was 2 1/8 inches (nearly 54 mm) apart. Due to the Great Depression, the majority of Standard gauge trains were discontinued by 1940. It was revived in the United States in the 1950s by the small firm of McCoy, who produced trains of original design well into the 1990s. In the 1970s, Williams began producing and marketing reproductions of Lionel trains from the 1920s and 1930s. This line was later marketed by Lionel itself, and is now produced and marketed by MTH Electric Trains.
