Everything about HO scale
Model railroad scale of 1:87
HO or H0 is a rail transport modelling scale using a 1:87 scale. It is the most popular scale of model railway in the world. The rails are spaced 16.5 millimetres (0.650 in) apart for modelling 1,435 mm standard-gauge tracks and trains in HO. Wikipedia →
