The GMC CCKW, also known as "Jimmy", or the G-508 by its Ordnance Supply Catalog number, [a] was a highly successful series of off-road capable, 2 1 ⁄ 2-ton, 6×6 trucks, built in large numbers to a standardized design (from 1941 to 1945) for the U.S. Army, that saw heavy service, predominantly as cargo ...
In 1950 the next generation of tactical trucks were being developed. Sizes were rationalized, with 1 ⁄ 4 and 3 ⁄ 4 -ton 4x4s and 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 , 5 , and 10-ton 6x6s. Trucks were military standard designs, 6x6 trucks used common cabs and similar fender and hood styles.
This gauge is represented by the EM Society (in full, Eighteen Millimetre Society). 00 track (16.5 mm) is the wrong gauge for 1:76 scale, but use of an 18.2 mm (0.717 in) gauge track is accepted as the most popular compromise towards scale dimensions without having to make significant modifications to ready-to-run models. Has a track gauge ...
The other NEM defined narrow gauges for H0 scale are H0m gauge (using 12 mm / 0.472 in gauge originally TT scale track) for models of 1,000 mm (3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) gauge and similar prototypes and H0i or H0f gauge (using Z scale 6.5 mm / 0.256 in track) for prototypes around 600 mm (1 ft 11 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) – the most popular gauge for ...
Prototype 2-foot gauge railroads existed, and still exist, all over the world. The prototype railroads being modeled in On2 scale include: The Maine 2-foot railroads. A series of 2 ft gauge railroads that existed in the state of Maine, USA from the 1870s to the 1940s. [1] 2-foot gauge railways of Wales and England, including the Ffestiniog ...
1:45: 6.773 mm This is the scale which MOROP has defined for O scale, because it is half the size of the 1:22.5 Scale G-gauge model railways made by German manufacturers. [citation needed] 1:43.5: 7.02 mm: Model railways (0) Exact O scale of 7 mm = 1 foot. 1:43: 7.088 mm: Die-cast cars: Still the most popular scale for die-cast cars worldwide ...
