HO scale steam locomotives at the N&W RR museum in Crewe, Virginia. HO is the most popular model railroad scale in both continental Europe and North America, whereas OO scale (4 mm:foot or 1:76.2 with 16.5 mm track) is still dominant in the United Kingdom. There are some modellers in the United Kingdom who model in HO scale and the British 1:87 ...
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 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge standard gauge. Conversely, modeling standard gauge in Lego trains would yield a scaling of (37.5:1435 =) 1:38.3.
a foreshortening technique using N scale model trains in the background (distance) with HO scale in the foreground. mixing 1:43 scale, 1:48 scale and 1:50 scale die-cast models with O scale model trains. using Matchbox cars (1:64 to 1:100) with HO scale and S scale. mixing OO scale British model trains with HO scale models. Both scales run on ...
OO scale (left) and HO scale (right) models of the EMD Class 66, showing the size difference. OO scale permits a level of detail including weathering and individual numbering. 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in ) gauge at 4 mm:1 foot means that the scale gauge represents 4 ft 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,257 mm), 7 inches (178 mm) narrower than the prototype 4 ft 8 + 1 ...
Many names, particularly those of British origin, such as O14 and 00-9 combine the name of the scale used with the physical measurement of the gauge, i.e. the 7 mm-to-the-foot scale from standard O gauge with a rail gauge of 14 mm, giving a precise representation of 2 ft (610 mm) prototypes.

In the same scale standard-gauge trains are modelled on 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge track, known as H0. Narrow-gauge trains are usually modelled on 9 mm (0.354 in) gauge track which is known as H0e and industrial minimum-gauge lines are modelled on 6.5 mm (0.256 in) gauge track known as H0f gauge.
