=== 2 mm to the foot scale === A number of modellers in the United Kingdom use [[2 mm scale]], a closer-to-scale standard than N scale. 2 mm scale is scaled at 2 mm to the foot (1:152) with a {{track gauge|9.42mm}} track gauge. Nearer to scale appearance is achieved by finer rail, flange, and crossing dimensions than commercial N gauge ({{track gauge|9mm|disp=s}}) components. A variation of the 2 mm standards is used by the FiNe group for 1:160 scale. It uses the same rail, flange, and crossing dimensions as 2 mm (1:152) standards, but with a track gauge of {{track gauge|0.353 in}}, and corresponding reduction in back-to-back. FiNe is dominated by European modellers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nmra.org/standards/sandrp/rp-3.html| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140409052355/http://www.nmra.org/standards/sandrp/rp-3.html| archive-date=9 April 2014| title=RP-3 Proto-Fine Track (Recommended practices)|publisher=[[National Model Railroad Association|NMRA]]|date=January 1990|access-date=2010-07-11|quote=named "N Fine"}}</ref>
