But, in the case of Shinkansen which adopted 1435mm of track gauge, so models of Shinkansen are scaled down to 1: 160.

* Taiwan High Speed Rail ( 台灣高速鐵路 )-THSR operates services on the new build 1435mm gauge high speed rail line connecting Taipei and Kaohsiung, on a route that runs down the western side of the island.

These iron ore railways are all 1435mm gauge, and started off using American standards for track, locomotives and wagons.

Line 1 is a 1435mm double-track tramway, apart from a short section of single track at the approach to Snow Hill.

The pilot plant was a circular lagoon 81 ft in diam at the surface and 65 ft in diam at the bottom, 4 ft below the surface, with a volume of 121,000 Aj.

The true alligators are today represented to two species, A. mississippiensis in the southeastern United States, which can grow to 4. 24 m ( 14 ft ) and weigh 1000 lbs ( 454. 5 kg ) and the small A. sinensis in the Yangtze River, People's Republic of China, which grows to an average of 1. 5 m ( 5 ft ).

The highest peak is the Feldberg with an elevation of 1, 493 metres ( 4, 898 ft ).

The full length of the court is 13. 4 metres ( 44 ft ).

It was 4. 3 meters ( 14 ft ) in diameter and constructed of aluminum aircraft tubing and a vinyl-plastic skin, in the form of an icosahedron.

Bongos are found in dense tropical jungles with dense undergrowth up to an altitude of 4, 000 meters ( 12, 800 ft ) in Central Africa, with isolated populations in Kenya, and the following west African countries: -

Today the cross, which is a replacement, is about 3 feet 4 inches ( 1 m ) tall and 1 foot 8 inches ( 0. 5 m ) across at the crosspiece, and it has its base in a socket stone which rests on a pedestal of granite blocks that raises the total height of the cross to 7 ft ( 2. 1 m ).

It is 6. 4 kilometres ( 4. 0 mi ) in length and only 21. 3 metres ( 70 ft ) wide at its base, making it impassable for most modern ships.

The tower is made up of three sections: a 30. 5 m ( 100 ft ) high tower base forming the main entrance and public circulation spaces ; a 235. 4 m ( 772 ft ) tall tower body containing 57 office floors, a sky lobby and five mechanical plant floors ; and the tower top consist of six mechanical plant floors and a 102 m ( 335 ft ) tall tower mast.

As a general practice, for achieving a clear height of 2. 6 to 2. 7 m ( 8. 5 to 8. 9 ft ), a floor-to-floor height of 3. 9 to 4. 0 m ( 12. 8 to 13. 1 ft ) would be required.

In the final scheme, columns at 4. 6 m ( 15. 1 ft ) centres and 1. 1 m ( 3. 6 ft ) deep floor edge beams were used to replace the large steel corner columns.

One was recorded in 1812 ; one measuring 7. 6 on the Richter Scale hit on November 30, 1983 at 21: 46 local time and lasted 142 seconds, resulting in a small tsunami which raised wave height in the lagoon to 1. 5 metres ( 5 ft ), and another on December 2, 2002, an earthquake measuring 4. 6 on the Richter Scale struck the island at 12: 21 a. m.

The distance between the inside edges of the rails of standard gauge track is usually called 1, 435 mm but in the United States it is still called 4 ft 8½ in.

The eventual result was the adoption throughout a large part of the world of a “ standard gauge ” of 4 ft 8½ in allowing inter-connectivity and the inter-operability of trains.

A popular legend, which has been around since at least 1937, traces the origin of the 4 ft 8½ in gauge even further back than the coalfields of northern England, pointing to the evidence of rutted roads marked by chariot wheels dating from the Roman Empire.

It was built and used at this gauge for fifteen years before being changed to 4 ft 8½ in gauge.

George Stephenson used the 4 ft 8½ in gauge ( with a belated extra of free movement to reduce binding on curves ) for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, authorised in 1826 and opened 30 September 1830.

The railways were intended to take 4 ft 8½ in gauge vehicles and allow a ( second ) running tolerance.

The influence of the Stephensons appears to be the main reason that the 4 ft 8½ in gauge became the standard, and its use became more widespread than any other gauge.

* 1. 435 m — Standard gauge of railway track used by about 60 % of railways in the world = 4 ' 8½ "

In Edinburgh, Scotland, eight 47, XYY boys born 1967 – 1972 and identified in a newborn screening program had an average height of 188. 1 cm ( 6 ' 2 ") at age 18 — their father's average height was 174. 1 cm ( 5 ' 8½ "), their mother's average height was 162. 8 cm ( 5 ' 4 ").

( 2, 140 mm ), it was eventually rejected by the Gauge Commission in favour of all railways in the British Isles being built to standard gauge of 1, 435 mm ( 4 ft 8½ in.

In 1919, a 4 foot 8½ inch ( 1435 mm ) standard gauge rail link from Broken Hill to Menindee was opened as the first stage in a planned direct route to Sydney.

In 1970 the 3 foot 6 inch ( 1067 mm ) gauge railway from Port Pirie to Broken Hill was converted to a 4 foot 8½ inch ( 1435 mm ) gauge, thus completing the standard transcontinental gauge line from Sydney to Perth.

per yard at a gauge throughout of 4 foot 8½ inches.

The computer had 2, 800 vacuum tubes, measured 10 ft ( 3 m ) by 2 ft ( 0. 6 m ) by 8½ ft ( 2. 6 m ) ( L × B × H ), and weighed 5 tons ( 4. 5 t ).

Prior to 1066 there were three adjacent estates which comprised Caestreham which are briefly recorded in the Domesday Book as being of 1½, 4 and 8½ hides, having four mills.

Sixty percent of the world's railways use Stephenson's 4 ft 8½ in < span class = nowrap >( 1, 435 mm )</ span > standard gauge.

Although the design called for the construction of only a single track of a standard gauge of 4 feet 8½ inches, an important decision made was to ensure that as far as possible the bridges, cuttings, embankments and tunnels, with the exception of the Beacon Hill tunnel, allowed for the laying of a future second track.

This influence appears to be the main reason that 1435 mm ( 4 ft 8½ in ) was subsequently adopted as standard gauge.

The early railways were almost exclusively local concerns involved with conveying minerals to some waterway ; for them the gauge of the track was adopted to suit the wagons intended to be used, and it was typically in the range 4 ft to 4 ft 8½ in, and at first there was no idea of the need for any conformity with the gauge of other lines.

The original gauge for the line was 5 feet, but this was converted to standard gauge ( 4 ′ 8½ ″) in 1844.

The railway was built to standard gauge, 1, 435 mm ( 4 ft 8½ in ).

) Railroads use the standard gauge of 4 feet 8½ inches, as does most of Europe ( where it is expressed instead as 1, 435 mm ).
