H0 scale was introduced in Britain in the 1920s, and although it stayed as the most common worldwide modelling scale, in Britain H0 has little commercial availability and is generally only used to model the British prototype by a small number of modellers. 00 or 4 mm: 1:76: 16.5 mm (0.65 in) The most popular railway modelling scale in Britain.
This scale is today the most popular modelling scale in the UK, although it once had some following in the US (on 19 mm / 0.748 in gauge track) before World War II. 00 or "Double-Oh", together with EM gauge and P4 standards are all to 4 mm scale as the scale is the same, but the track standards are incompatible. 00 uses the same track as HO (16 ...
Railway modelling has long used a variety of scales and gauges to represent its models of real subjects. In most cases, gauge and scale are chosen together, so as to represent Stephenson standard gauge. By choosing a smaller gauge than this for a particular scale, the model represents a narrow-gauge example. [1] [2]
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) Exact O scale of 7 mm = 1 foot. 1:43: 7.088 mm: Die-cast cars: Still the most popular scale for die-cast cars worldwide, metric or ...

Whilst the scale of structures can be considered the same in an O Scale layout regardless of track gauge (ignoring forced scale for purposes of perspective), On3 (3 ft (914 mm)), On30 (2 ft 6 in (762 mm)) or On2 (2 ft) prototype modelling permits a greater level of model detail and more appropriate scale operation of narrow gauge railway ...
ScaleSeven (S7) is a set of finescale model railway standards for 1:43.5 using true-to-prototype track and wheel standards. It is principally used to model British standard gauge ( 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ( 1,435 mm )), Irish Broad Gauge ( 5 ft 3 in ( 1,600 mm )), or Great Western broad gauge ( 7 ft ( 2,134 mm )).
