HO Gauge
April 26th, 2008 by admin
In the Model Railroads and Railroading world, train sizes are classified into gauges. The most common gauges are O, HO, N, and Z. Of these, HO is the most popular. HO gauge bridges the gap between the easier to handle but space gobbling O gauge, and space efficient but harder to handle N gauge. Because of HO’s popularity, engines, rolling stock, buildings, people and other parts and accessories are easier to come by. HO gauge is 1:87 size, meaning that the trains are 87 times smaller than their real counterparts in the full size world. HO gauge parts and accessories are available at just about all hobby and model railroad specialty stores.
