The train system is sometimes referred to as 'L-gauge' among
Lego fans, in reference to traditional model railway scales.
Lego trains use a nominal gauge of 37.5 mm (115⁄32 in),
based on 5-stud track centerlines gauge, corresponding with a
circa 1:38 scale.
There are different sizes of lego trains that can be built. They
can range from 5 stud wide to 8 or even 10 stud wide. Depending
on who is building it and the amount of detail you want. The
standard lego size is 6 stud wide because that's what the lego
company made standard with their trains. As time went on
builders started to expand out to 8 wide and beyond. In this
thread you will find all kind of creations from builders.
Breakdown
6 Wide - Narrow Gauge ( This can also be used as standard gauge
if you don't build in 8 wide therefor making 5 stud and below
narrow gauge )
8 Wide - Standard Gauge
10 Wide and above would be considered Standard Gauge as well
