2. OO gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OO_gauge

   OO gauge. OO gauge or OO scale (also, 00 gauge and 00 scale) is the most popular standard gauge model railway standard in the United Kingdom, [1] outside of which it is virtually unknown. OO gauge is one of several 4 mm-scale standards (4 mm to 1 ft (304.8 mm), or 1:76.2), and the only one to be marketed by major manufacturers. The OO track ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minories_(model_railway)

   Minories (model railway) Minories is a 'deceptively simple' [1] design for a model railway layout, designed by C. J. Freezer. The design was first published in Railway Modeller in 1957 and it became a regular of Peco 's many collected plans books afterwards. [2] It is notable as an influential design, more than as a single instance of the model.

4. O scale - Wikipedia

   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. In Europe, its popularity declined before ...

5. American OO scale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_OO_scale

   American OO scale is a model railroad standard that has a scale of 4 mm to 1 foot (1:76) and utilises 19 mm (0.748 in) for the standard gauge track.. The standard is different from British 00 gauge (which is popular in Great Britain), as it utilises 19mm gauge track rather than HO scale 16.5 mm (0.65 in) gauge track.

   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 ...

   Z scale (1:220) scene of a 2-6-0 steam locomotive being turned. A scratch-built Russell snow plow is parked on a stub (Val Ease Central Railroad). Railway modelling (UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland) or model railroading (US and Canada) is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale.
