The World's Largest Collection of Model Trains Don't Fit on Standard Model Train Tracks
The world's largest collection of model trains doesn't fit on standard model train tracks. This is something that's from the National Rail Museum in York. They have a collection of 610 model railway vehicles all made by the same man who was called James Peel Richards, 1902 to 99. He thought he could get his models more accurate if you made them to a 33 millimetre gauge. The normal gauge for model trains is 32 millimetres and they're not compatible with the vast majority of model railway lines. Even the National Rail museum don't have a layout where they can put these trains on a train track.
