		O gauge trains, for instance, operate on track that is too widely spaced, while the British OO and N standards operate on track that is significantly too narrow.
		Whether it is a simple clockwork train on a circular track, or a huge detailed layout run to a timetable with historically accurate signals and train formations, the essence of a model railway is that it presents the appearance of a working railway.
		The advantage of this layout is that the trains do indeed run continuously, and a train can be seen running for a period of time not greatly reduced from that of a real train journey.
