2. Track gauge conversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_gauge_conversion

   Track gauge conversion is the changing of one railway track gauge (the distance between the running rails) to another. In general, requirements depend on whether the conversion is from a wider gauge to a narrower gauge or vice versa, on how the rail vehicles can be modified to accommodate a track gauge conversion, and on whether the gauge conversion is manual or automated.

   Some railways, primarily in the northeast, used standard gauge of 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (1,435 mm); others used gauges ranging from 2 ft (610 mm) to 6 ft (1,829 mm). As a general rule, southern railroads were built to one or another broad gauge, mostly 5 ft ( 1,524 mm ), while northern railroads that were not standard-gauge tended to be narrow-gauge.

4. OO gauge - Wikipedia

   OO gauge is one of several 4 mm-scale standards (4 mm to 1 ft (304.8 mm), or 1:76.2), and the only one to be marketed by major manufacturers. The OO track gauge of 16.5 mm (0.65 in) (same as the 1:87 HO scale) corresponds to prototypical gauge of 4 ft 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in, rather than 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in standard gauge.
