Micro 'pizza layout' with 9 mm gauge track in 7 mm scale (09 scale) An important aspect of any model railway is the layout of the track itself. Apart from the stations, there are four basic ways of arranging the track, and innumerable variations: Continuous loop. A circle or oval, with trains going round and round. Used in train sets. Point to ...
John Whitby Allen (July 2, 1913 – January 6, 1973) was a prominent American model railroader.He pioneered or developed several aspects of the hobby on his HO scale Gorre & Daphetid model railroad in Monterey, California, popularizing them with numerous magazine articles and photographs starting in the 1940s.
00-9 'pizza' layout, Starbottom Lane by Richard Glover. Railway modelling has long used a variety of scales and gauges to represent its models of real subjects. In most cases, gauge and scale are chosen together, so as to represent Stephenson standard gauge.
The term HOn30 (and sometimes HOn2½) is generally used when modelling American prototypes while H0e is used for European prototypes. In Britain, the term OO9 is used. [1] All these terms refer to models of narrow-gauge railways built to the world's most popular model railway scale of HO (1:87) but using a track gauge of 9 mm (0.354 in)—the gauge used for N scale models of standard-gauge ...

OO scale (left) and HO scale (right) models of the EMD Class 66, showing the size difference. OO scale permits a level of detail including weathering and individual numbering. 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in ) gauge at 4 mm:1 foot means that the scale gauge represents 4 ft 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,257 mm), 7 inches (178 mm) narrower than the prototype 4 ft 8 + 1 ...
High rails on a model railway layout at the Convention of American Railroadfans in Switzerland, 2006. High rail (also called "hi-rail" and "hirail") is a phrase used in model railroading in North America, mostly in O scale and S scale, to describe a "compromise" form of modelling that strives for realism while accepting the compromises in scale associated with toy train equipment.
