    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_scale

    O scale (or O gauge) is a scale commonly used for toy trains and rail transport modelling.Introduced by German toy manufacturer Märklin around 1900, by the 1930s three-rail alternating current O gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the United States and remained so until the early 1960s.

    GarGraves is a North American manufacturer of O gauge three-rail track with all of its rails insulated. Trix Express is a European manufacturer of three-rail track who insulates all three rails. On a simple, non- computerised layout only one train can run independently on either a two or three-rail system (two trains if combined with overhead ...

    Layout Stirmouth & Southern Railroad Company in On30 gauge, based on the Bachmann Industries models.. On30 (also called On2 1 ⁄ 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 British and French model railroaders and 1:45 by Continental ...

    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 ...

    High rails on a model railway layout at the Convention of American Railroadfans in Switzerland, 2006. High rail (also called "hi-rail" and "hirail") is a phrase used in model railroading in North America, mostly in O scale and S scale, to describe a "compromise" form of modelling that strives for realism while accepting the compromises in scale associated with toy train equipment.

  7. Toy train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_train

    Wide gauge trains, which are close in size to 2 gauge, are produced in limited quantities today, as are 1 gauge and O gauge trains. Of these, O gauge is the most popular. An O gauge Marx toy train set made in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The modern standards for toy trains also include S gauge, HO scale, N scale, and Z scale, in descending ...
