Every ho scale train I have had worked on any ho scale track.

Yes.
The HO scale is used for measuring when it comes to model trains. Originally there was the O scale, or O gauge. When train models went to an even smaller size they created the HO scale to measure them.
No. There are many different scales, or gauges, of model trains. For example, an N scale train would be too small to fit on HO scale track.
S model train is the scale - S scale (Just a FYI, scale is the size of the train) S scale is 3/16 inch to the foot, sort of half way between O gauge and HO.
As long as the transformer is capable of 12 Volts DC output, you can use any transformer with HO scale equipment.
Tyco HO scale trains are available through specialty stores that carry toy trains. Likewise, some general toy stores may carry this brand of toy and model train.
HO is a gauge (scale) for model trains. The name HO comes from the fact that it represents a reduction of half from the earlier O gauge ("Half O"), which was more popular in Europe. The ratio for HO gauge equipment is 1:87 which means that the HO tracks are 16.5mm apart, or 1/87th of a standard train track (1435mm). In Europe, an almost exactly the same scale is called OO (pronounced "Double O"), even though it is much closer to half of O scale than double it (it is actually called "Double O" because there are two O's (OO) in the scale name).
One can buy a Ho Scale Track at Tower Hobbies, Trainz and Model Train Stuff. This type of track is also available at A Main Hobbies and and Hobby Linc.
HO railroad is a scale of a model train. I don't think it refers to a real railroad company.
