Track gauge unknown

edit

In this edit, an IP added Track gauge (aka Rail gauge): "{{Track gauge|1 ft 11 5/8 in (600mm)}}"

As of today, that gauge 1 ft 11 5/8 in  N, defined by imperial units clearly, is not known in any of our 19k+ articles using {{Track gauge}} (talk). It is not in the List of track gauges. In other words: this new gauge definition needs a source, or it is a mistake.

I note that the conversion from imperial units ft & in, OTOH, into metric (600 mm), is well-known: 600 mm (1 ft 11+58 in)  Y.

This being an UK (Welsh) histotical track, I can not assume (a) it was build to mm's, nor (b) rolling stock was ordered with the unique gauge of 1 ft 11 5/8 in.

Calc: 23.625 inches (600 mm). -DePiep (talk) 23:13, 2 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
