It appears that HO Scale is a term used within the world of miniature trains. HO scale refers to the size scale of these trains and many are made of brass. Therefore a brass ho scale can be used to describe model trains.

What is the HO Scale used for?
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.
Are HO scale trains compatible with N scale?
No, HO and N scale trains are not compatible.
How far is an ho scale train mile?
A mile in HO scale is about 60.5 Ft.
Can you run any ho gauge engine on ho track or just the track that it came with it?
Every ho scale train I have had worked on any ho scale track.
Is HO scale track the same size as OO scale track?
Yes HO is older than 00
What is brass in kelvin?
Brass is an alloy, Kelvin is a temperature scale. The temperature of the brass would depend on its surroundings
When were the HO Scale trains developed?
HO scale trains were developed in roughly the year 1900. HO scale trains are the most popular scale trains in the entire World. The scale is roughly 1:87 which is quite different to some other model trains which could explain its popularity.
How large are the tracks used for HO scale trains?
The HO scale trains use a 3.5mm to 1 real foot ratio which works out to be about 1:87:1 and is the most popular scale for model railways in the world. A train for this type of track would have 16.5mm (0.650in) tracks.
Can HO scale tracks connect with G scale tracks?
no because g scale is wider
What scale are HO slot cars?
They are HO which is ( railroad use) l-87 of prototype or Half-O scale. actually they are slightly larger than scale to accomodate motors, gears, etc. Aurora made the most popular chassis for Ho slot cars and scale diagrams were essentially adapted from Aurora specs.
Is HO the most popular model train scale?
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).
What was the first model train company to introduce HO brass?
Lionel Corporation began the manufacturing of HO trains produced the first HO brass model train. In addition even before the second world war there were efforts to produce about a large table size, which were most suitable to save manufacturing costs. Out of these efforts was born the today's current nominal size H0 brass model tains.
