Scales and Gauges Part 11 European O Scale

Well just when you thought that American O scale was confusing we dive into the deep end... European O scales and gauges. Just as the US has the NMRA Europe has MOROP European Federation of National Model Railway Associations and the NEM 010 standards: So O followed by: • no letter = standard gauge (prototype: 1,250–1,700 mm or 49.2–66.9 in) • m = metre gauge (prototype: 850–1,250 mm or 33.5–49.2 in) • e = narrow gauge (prototype: 650–850 mm or 25.6–33.5 in) • i = industrial (prototype: 400–650 mm or 15.7–25.6 in) • p = park railway (prototype: 300–400 mm or 11.8–15.7 in) Moreover, in the beginning, the Europeans favored adjusting scale instead of gauge… 1:45 scale 1:43.5 scale Some of the scales: O 16.5 Same as On30 except: HO track (16.5mm) BUT at 1:43.5 scale O Scale 1:48 scale (1/4” to the foot) Of France 1:43.5 Scale or 7mm scale Q or SMO 1:45 scale Scale 7 Brittan (7mm to the foot) 33mm gauge 1.3”. ScaleSeven Group - Sort of British Proto48 For 43.5 scale. 1435mm gauge. 56.5” Standard gauge of 4’81/2” 2 Foot gauge: O14 14mm gauge. (0.55”) Accurate 2’ gauge in 1:43.5 (7mm to the foot) 609mm or 2’ O12 also 1:43.5 scale 12mm (0.47”) TT gauge for 2’ gauge (2.045’) Oe Narrow gauge. 16.5mm track (HO) For modeling: German 750 mm gauge (2’5.5”) 25.4mm too narrow or 0.500 microns in scale Austrian 760mm gauge (2’5 15/16”) 1.57mm too narrow or 250 microns in scale Switzerland 8S0mm rack (2’7 ½”) 38.1mm too wide or 1.8mm in scale On42. 42 inch gauge. Australia .875” gauge 7/8” or S gauge track Exact scale and gauge Often cheated with HO track. On 30 Om. (On22.5) Meter gauge Problem is O at 1:43.5 (France) and 1:45 scale in Germany and most of Europe. So which scale? Oj Japan 3’ 6’ gauge 12.7mm gauge Are we confused yet?
