OO is just a slightly bigger scale (1:76) at H0 track. Since UK loading diameter is slightly narrower than on other standard gauge railways (which is the reason for there being OO at all, as H0 motors wouldn't fit models of UK locomotives), there wouldn't be much of a noticeable difference. To me, this looks bigger than H0, but there are other scales and gauges, as well. Admittedly, my knowledge about these is pretty limited.
- jacquesm 6y agoDefinitely not O, HO stands for 'half O', and OO is/was pretty rare outside of the UK, I'd bet on HO.
- masswerk 6y agoYes, not OO. There were probably no such US coaches available in OO.
- jacquesm 6y agoAnd O would be way larger: http://wgh.trains.com/-/media/Images/How%20To/Articles/ABCs%20of%20Model%20Railroading/Beginner%20content/Scale%20photo.jpg http://wgh.trains.com/-/media/Images/How%20To/Articles/ABCs%...
- mbalyuzi 6y agoThere is also S scale between HO and O, which I believe was still popular at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_scale
