This template accepts a track gauge and returns that defined track gauge well formatted, plus the converted size value by another unit:
{{Track gauge|1520 mm}}
→ 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in){{Track gauge|4 ft}}
→ 4 ft (1,219 mm)Extra options are available:
{{Track gauge|1520 mm|lk=on}}
→ 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in){{Track gauge|1520 mm|al=on}}
→ 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) Russian gauge{{Track gauge|1520 mm|allk=on}}
→ 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) Russian gaugeThe first parameter specifies the gauge:
{{Track gauge|1435 mm}}
→ 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in){{Track gauge|4 ft 8.5 in}}
→ 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm){{Track gauge|4 ft 8 1/2 in}}
→ 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm){{Track gauge|56.5 in}}
→ 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm){{Track gauge|Standard gauge}}
→ 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in)Rail track gauges can be entered as they are defined: in units mm or ft in. Also common accepted names can be used, see below.
The input value (a length, in metric or imperial units) must be a defined track gauge. Currently 135 gauges are defined by metric units, and 148 by imperial units. Some are defined in both unit systems, such as the standard gauge.
mm
is a safer bet.Track gauges in bold font are definitions. Track gauges in regular font are merely conversions (calculations).

Track gauge data statistics |
---|
|
When entering a track gauge (like {{Track gauge|1435mm}}
, these are formatting options. Keep in mind that only defined gauges are recognised.
Spacing is free, and fractions can be used in imperial units. Primes ('
and "
) may be used for [foot, inch]. Any [foot, inch] size can be entered in all-inches (4 ft 8 1/2 in
equals 56 1/2 in
and 56.5 in
).
