I've found many sites on the web that describe railway standards for model railways but since there is often some compromise in small scale models, just converting back to prototype sizes doesn't always work.
What I'm looking for are general rules and basic dimensions to help build better objects.
Track gauge is easy but what is the center height of various couplers?
What are the heights of various car buffers and how wide apart are they?
Are there preferred heights for passenger platforms?
These and any other design rules would be greatly appreciated.
