N scaleis a popularmodel railwayscale.[1]Depending upon the manufacturer (or country), the scale ranges from 1148 to 1160. In all cases, thegauge(the distance between the rails) is9mmor0.354in. The termNgaugerefers to the track dimensions, but in the United Kingdom in particularBritish N gaugerefers to a 1148 scale with 1160 (9mmor0.354in) track gauge modelling. The terms N scale and N gauge are often inaccurately used interchangeably, as scale is defined as ratio or proportion of the model, and gauge only as a distance between rails. The scale 1148 defines the rail-to-rail gauge equal to 9mm exactly (at the cost of scale exactness), so when calculating the rail or track use 1160 and for engines and car wheel base use 1148.All rails are spaced 9mm apart but the height can differ. Rail height (in thousandths of an inch) is expressed as a "code": thus, Code 55 rails are 0.055 inches (1.4mm) high while Code 80 rails have a height of 0.080 inches (2.0mm).[2][3]Common real railroad rails are at least 6 inches (150mm) tall and can be taller on some roads, so at true scale the rails would be about 0.040 inches (1.0mm) high.[2]Many older N-scale models may not run well on Code 55 track as their flanges are often unrealistically large, causing the wheels to bounce along the ties instead of ride along the railhead. Wheelsets with these large flanges are colloquially known as 'pizza cutters' due to a resemblance to the kitchen utensil.[note 1] An advantage of N scale is that it allowshobbyiststo build layouts that take up less space thanHO scale, or put longer track runs into the same amount of space, because the models are smaller (by nearly a half) than they are in HO scale (187).[5]While N scale is quite small, it is not the smallest commercially available scale, asZ scaleis smaller yet at 1220 andT scaleis 1450 or 1480. N scale is considered generally compatible with1144 scaleforminiature wargaming. HOorH0is arail transport modellingscale using a 1:87scale(3.5mm to 1foot). It is the most popular scale of model railway in the world.[1][2]The rails are spaced 16.5mm (0.650in) apart for modelling1,435mm(4ft8+12in)standard gaugetracks and trains in HO.[3]The name HO comes from 1:87 scale beinghalfthat ofO scale, which was previously the smallest of the series of older and larger 0,1,2and3 gaugesintroduced byMrklinaround 1900. In most English-speaking markets it is pronounced/eto/and written with the letters HO today, but in other markets remains written with the letter H and number 0 (zero), so in German it is pronounced as[ha: 'nl]. Lionel Corporationwas an American toy manufacturer and holding company of retailers that has been in business for over 120 years. It was founded as an electrical novelties company, Lionel specialized in various products throughout its existence.Toy trainsandmodel railroadswere its main claim to fame. Lionel also produced the diecast cars for NASCAR.[1]Lionel trains have been produced since 1900, and their trains drew admiration from model railroaders around the world for the solidity of their construction and the authenticity of their detail. During its peak years in the 1950s, the company sold million worth of trains per year.[2]In 2006, Lionel's electric train became the first electric toy inducted into theNational Toy Hall of Fame. In 1969, they sold their model train lines toGeneral Mills, but continued to operate until 1993 as a holding company for theirtoy stores. Its model trains are still in production asa separate company. O scale(orO gauge) is ascalecommonly used fortoy trainsandrail transport modelling. Introduced by German toy manufacturerMrklinaround 1900, by the 1930sthree-railalternating currentO gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the United States and remained so until the early 1960s. In Europe, its popularity declined beforeWorld War IIdue to the introduction of smaller scales.O gauge had its heyday when model railroads were considered toys, with more emphasis placed on cost, durability, and the ability to be easily handled and operated by pre-adult hands. Detail and realism were secondary concerns, at best. It still remains a popular choice for those hobbyists who enjoy running trains more than they enjoy other aspects of modeling, but developments in recent years have addressed the concerns of scale model railroaders making O scale popular among fine-scale modellers who value the detail that can be achieved. The size of O is larger than OO/HO layouts, and thus is a factor in making the decision to build an O gauge layout.
