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 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge tracks and trains in HO.
The term HOn30 (and sometimes HOn2½) is generally used when modelling American prototypes while H0e is used for European prototypes. In Britain, the term OO9 is used. All these terms refer to models of narrow-gauge railways built to the world's most popular model railway scale of HO (1:87) but using a track gauge of 9 mm (0.354 in)—the gauge used for N scale models of standard-gauge railways.
A simple Märklin model. A coffee-table Märklin layout in Z scale (1:220). The locomotive is about 50 mm long. Märklin model steam engine in function. Märklin was founded by Theodor Friedrich Wilhelm Märklin [ de ] in 1859. [ 1 ] After his death in 1866, early in the company's life, his wife Caroline Märklin lead the business until 1888.
On30 gauge. Layout Stirmouth & Southern Railroad Company in On30 gauge, based on the Bachmann Industries models. On30 (also called On21⁄2, O16.5 and Oe) gauge is the modelling of narrow gauge railways in O scale on HO ( 16.5 mm / 0.65 in) gauge track in 1:48 scale ratio by American and Australian model railroaders, in 1:43.5 scale ratio by ...
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]
Cox HO-Scale Trains Resource Details the 1970s line of COX model trains in HO-scale, includes online catalog resource. Cox Engine Forum Members include current and past employees, Cox family members, and experienced modelers and collectors. Also includes a resource for catalogs, product instruction manuals, and other documents.
HOn31⁄2 gauge represents the modelling of 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm) gauge railways in HO scale, resulting in a model track gauge of 12 mm ( 0.472 in) (the same as H0m and TT scale ). Trains are operated using direct current or Digital Command Control over realistic-looking two-rail track. Railways that use the 3 ft 6 in ( 1,067 mm) gauge can be ...
3' Gauge rail modelling is a specialisation in rail transport modelling. Specifically it relates to the modelling of narrow gauge prototypes of 3 ft ( 914 mm) gauge. This gauge was the most common narrow gauge in the United States and in Ireland. Apart from some other lines in North, Central and South America, 3 ft gauge was uncommon elsewhere.
