The rather uncommon [citation needed] 40 mm figure scale wargames figures fit approximately into this scale. 1:45: 6.773 mm This is the scale which MOROP has defined for O scale, because it is half the size of the 1:22.5 Scale G-gauge model railways made by German manufacturers. [citation needed] 1:43.5: 7.02 mm: Model railways (0)
35 mm: 1:30: 35 mm (1.378 in) 35 mm was in use in the 1930s and 1940s by several model railway manufacturers in Japan. 35 mm was introduced in the 1930s. Late 1940s 35 mm was replaced by O gauge. No. 2: 1:27: 2 in (50.8 mm) English scale, 7 ⁄ 16 inch to 1 foot. Commercially used about 1900 [citation needed]
The dominant scale used in the United States for models of "standard gauge" trains running on 45 mm (1.772 in) track, even though 1:32 is more prototypically correct. 1:29 represents standard gauge using 2 in (50.8 mm) gauge track, the original gauge 2. This fell into disuse as gauge 1 at 1.75 inch was very close.
1:50 scale diecast construction equipment. 1:50 scale is a popular size for diecast models from European manufacturers such as Conrad, Tekno, NZG, WSI and LionToys.Typically they produce scale models of construction vehicles, tower cranes, trucks and buses. [1]
35 mm: ≈6.2 mm: ≈1:52 – 1:48: Heroic scale of 32 mm miniatures. 1:50 scale is a popular size for diecast models from European manufacturers. 1:48 is commonly known as quarter scale or American O scale. 40 mm: ≈7 mm: ≈1:45 – 1:43: Older figures from the 60s and tend to be thinner / shorter than new metal ones. Close to O scale model ...
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.

Models that are either built to 1:43 scale, 7 mm:1 foot (1:43.5), 1:45 scale, or 1:48 scale can run on realistic-looking two-rail track using direct current (Commonly known as 2-Rail O), or on a center third power rail or a center stud supply system. If modeling such a system, an external third rail or overhead supply may be employed.
