Gauge 2 (also called 2 gauge or II gauge) is a model railway gauge, originally Шаблон:RailGauge,[1] then standardised in 1909 at Шаблон:RailGauge, a 20% reduction and a change in definition: from mm to inch.Шаблон:Citation needed It has since fallen into disuse. The gauge was introduced by Märklin at the Leipzig toy fair in 1891. Gauge 2 was equivalent to a 1:22.5 scale.

Related scales and gauges

After the change to Шаблон:RailGauge in 1909, Шаблон:RailGauge gauge was standardised as 3 gauge (or III gauge).

European G gauge trains are built to the same II gauge scale, but with a narrow rail gauge of Шаблон:RailGauge (the same as 1 gauge). This G gauge at 1:22.5 scale represents Шаблон:RailGauge narrow-gauge railways. This scale-gauge combination is sometimes called IIm in European literature.

In the UK, Gauge 2 was 2 inches (50.8 mm) while Gauge 3 was Шаблон:RailGauge. From this, it follows that G gauge is sometimes, albeit rarely, referred to as 3m. A 2 inch (50.8 mm) gauge of standard gauge locos gives a scale of 1:28.25, not so far off the 1/29 used by some manufactures with Шаблон:RailGauge gauge track. In the grand tradition of model rail gauges often being narrower than the full scale equivalent (00 scale being the classic example) this is deemed perfectly acceptable.
