Three foot gauge railways have atrack gauge of3 ft (914 mm) or 1yard. This gauge is anarrow gauge and is generally found throughoutNorth,Central, andSouth America. InIreland, many secondary andindustrial lines were built to3 ft gauge, and it is the dominant gauge on theIsle of Man, where it is known as theManx Standard Gauge. Modern3 ft gauge railways are most commonly found in isolated mountainous areas, on small islands, or in large-scaleamusement parks and theme parks (see table below). This gauge is also popular inmodel railroading (particularly inG scale), and model prototypes of these railways have been made by several model train brands around the world, such as Accucraft Trains (US), Aristo-Craft Trains (US),Bachmann Industries (Hong Kong), Delton Locomotive Works (US),LGB (Germany),[1] andPIKO (Germany).
