Advent of the TYCO brand. Launching in 1957, Mantua pioneered HO-scale model railroad “ready-to-run” die-cast locomotives. These products, also available as assembly kits, were sold under the "TYCO" name (for "Tyler Company"). [3] Many TYCO and Mantua die-cast products, such as steam engines, are collector's items today.
The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 81⁄2 in) standard gauge standard gauge. Conversely, modeling standard gauge in Lego trains would yield a scaling of (37.5:1435 =) 1:38.3.
Model trains and accessories. Varney Scale Models was founded in 1936 by Gordon Varney, an early pioneer in manufacturing HO scale model trains. The development of a reliable 6-volt motor made it possible to produce model locomotives capable of pulling long trains. The company relocated from Chicago, Illinois, to Miami, Florida, in 1955. [ 1]
Model gauge. 2. +. 1⁄8 in ( 53.975 mm) Standard Gauge, also known as wide gauge, was an early model railway and toy train rail gauge, introduced in the United States in 1906 by Lionel Corporation. [ 1] As it was a toy standard, rather than a scale modeling standard, the actual scale of Standard Gauge locomotives and rolling stock varied.
Model gauge. 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in) Prototype gauge. Standard gauge. HO or H0 is a rail transport modelling scale using a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot). It is the most popular scale of model railway in the world. [ 1][ 2] The rails are spaced 16.5 millimetres (0.650 in) apart for modelling 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 81⁄2 in) standard gauge tracks and trains ...
The cars could be obtained in simple kit form, or ready-to-run. A model of the Budd Rail Diesel Car was introduced in 1953 with a metal body, and reintroduced in 1958 in plastic. The comprehensive scope of the product line contributed to the popularity of HO as a model railroad scale, due to the ready availability of items and their low cost.
Website. limamodel.it. Lima S.p.A. (Lima Models) is an Italian brand and former manufacturing company of model railways. The company was headquartered in Vicenza for almost 50 years, from the early 1950s until the company ceased trading in 2004. Lima was a popular, affordable brand of 00 gauge and N gauge model railway material in the UK, more ...

HO scale (1:87) model of a North American center cab switcher shown with a pencil for size. Z scale (1:220) scene of a 2-6-0 steam locomotive being turned.
