Excerptation of a preserved model railway connection section, from 1960 to 1973 in Switzerland Model Railway Bernina, Pontresina In the track SM.

The Nominal size S is a size for model iron tracks that is standardized in the standards of European model railways (NEM) and the standards of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA). The standard gauge with a model of 1435 mm has a model track of 22.5 mm and is colloquially referred to as a lane. The scale is usually 1:64, [first] [2] In the past, however, also 1:60. [3] [4]

The track S with a model track of 22.5 mm can be traced back to 1894. [5] [6] The track 1 was halved with a model track of 45 mm and, together with lane 1 and trail 0, was one of the first model track widths appearing according to uniform principles. That is why the concept of trace H1 for the lane S has also been various in the past Bad 1 used.

1941 stepped American Flyer with an extensive Spur-S program onto the market. [7] As of 2021, Lionel sells his own nominal size products as well as the lane s under the brand name American Flyer [8] , This can be justified with the fact that the company Lionel the company very early American Flyer had taken over.

As early as 1948, an industrially produced narrow -gauge railway on tracks with a model track of 16.5 mm from the French company was Allard available. The vehicles to be assigned to today’s track SM on a scale of 1:60 drove densiflid on commercially available lane H0 mid-range tracks from the same manufacturer or from competitors, which also have a model track of 16.5 mm. [9] The shooting vehicles, model of a steam locomotive and a rail bus (carail), were also available with clockwork drive. [ten]

Continentaleuropa [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The following model tracks are defined for the scale of 1:64 in the standards of European model railways (NEM), or are country-specific and nationally used:

Spur Designation Model lane width Remed model (selection) Use for a prototype tracker remark
S Normalspur 22,5 mm [11] 1435 mm From 1250 mm to < 1700 mm
Sm Meterspur 16,5 mm 1000 mm from 0 850 mm to <1250 mm Both the two-ladder track system and the middle conductor track system (Märklin) are used [twelfth]
With Narrow -gauge twelfth , 0 mm 0 750 mm, 760 mm and 800 mm from 0 650 mm to < 0 850 mm
Sf Feldbahn 0 9 , 0 mm 0 500 mm and 600 mm from 0 400 mm to < 0 650 mm
Sp Parkbahn 0 6,5 mm 0 381 mm from 0 300 mm to < 0 400 mm

North America [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The following model tracks are 1:64 for the scale in the standards of the National Model Railroad Association (Nmra) and the National Association of S Gaugers (NASG) are determined or are country -specific and nationally used:

In the Toy Museum of Nuremberg, the Omaha Union station in the US state of Nebraska is reproduced on 30 m² with the area of ​​the area. This in scale 1:64 and the track S. The model railway system was built from 1950 to 1974 by the Nuremberg geologist Wolfram Bismarck, which, like Karl May, was never in the USA himself. Bismarck and its fellow campaigners produced a number of locomotives made of plywood and painted them so that they could hardly be distinguished from brass small series locomotives. It is the only publicly accessible Spur-S model railway system in continental Europe at still 2021. [15] [16]

In Pontresina in Switzerland, on the St. Moritz-Pontresina-Tyrano railway line (RHB), there was a larger exhibition model railway system of the Bernina railway line in the track SM from 1960 to 1973. [17] This model railway drove on the standard Märklin M-Geisen (1956–2000) With the trail H0.

Faller-AMS [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The Black Forest Manufacturer Faller had acquired a license for an electric freeway with track groove guidance (“Slotcar”) in the USA at the end of the 1950s, which he under the name “Faller AMS” (Auto-Motor Sport) as accessories for about two decades The model railway native size H0 offered. There were even combined applications with level crossings and loading of cars to railway flat wagons (the nominal size H0). But better this system matched nominal size S, because the scale of the electrically driven Faller model road vehicles was about 1:67 and so significantly larger than H0.

Stadtilm metal goods factory [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In 1942 the Carl-Liebmann-Metallwerke Founded as a armaments in the Thuringian aircraft industry. After 1945 and the switch to peace production, the aircraft parts production was rebuilt under the Soviet crew. In 1948, after the sudden shift of the entire Thuringian aircraft development to the Soviet Union, a toy railway was developed in Space 0 and manufactured on the remaining machines. After the escape of Carl Liebmanns at the end of 1952 and the nationalization in VEB (K) METALLWARENFABRIK Stadtilm an improved model railway was developed within track. In 1956, the production of the lane s rather known on the European mainland was recorded and thus followed the trend at the time to reduce the lane. The production of toy railways was abandoned in 1964.

Weimar metal toy factory [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

The Weimar metal toy factory (MSW) also produced locomotives, wagons and accessories for the nominal size S, but simplifications on the models were carried out in some places, so that both the manufacturing and material effort decreased.

More manufacturers [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

Various state -owned companies produced accessories such as houses, Andreas crosses, signs and figures for model railroad systems of nominal size S.

In Nuremberg, in addition to models of nominal size 0, some nominal size S also produced by Karl Bub.

In addition to Germany, Trace was particularly common in the USA. Lionel, otherwise known for track-0 models, offers under the name American Flyer to this day a fairly extensive track-S range [18] , other manufacturers are S Helper Service (Taken over by MTH 2013) [19] and River Raisin Models.
