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.
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 ...

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.

7 mm scale, also known as British O scale is a model railway scale of 1:43.5 (or 7 mm to 1 ft; hence its name). [1] The scale is thus different from American O scale (1:48) [1] and European O scale (1:45). For standard gauge railways, 32mm gauge, or 0 gauge is most commonly used. [1]
Thus the scale and approximate prototype gauge are represented, with the model gauge used (9 mm for H0e gauge; 6.5 mm for H0f gauge) being implied. [2] The scales used include the general European modelling range of Z, N, TT, H0, 0 and also the large model engineering gauges of I to X, including 3 + 1 ⁄ 2, 5, 7 + 1 ⁄ 4 and 10 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch ...
