	Scale model - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Scale models are useful for testing the likely performance of a design object at an early stage without the expense of building a full-sized prototype.
		Scale models are also built as a hobby: aircraft; cars; vehicles; figures; matchstick models; miltary vehicles; railways; rockets; and ships.
		This scale was used by Monogram for some ship models because it was one-half the size of the standard scale for wargaming models used by the US Army.

		This scale is also popular in North America to depict 3 foot narrow gauge prototypes (using dedicated 14.28 mm gauge track and known as "Sn3"), and elsewhere to depict the 3 foot 6 inches narrow gauge railways (using HO 16.5 mm gauge track and known as "Sn3½") of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
		OO or "Double-Oh", together with EM gauge and P4 standards are all to 4 mm scale as the scale is the same, but the track standards are incompatible.
		OO uses the same track as HO (16.5 mm gauge), which is not correct for this slightly larger scale, but it is the most common British standard for ready-to-run trains.

	OO gauge -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		OO uses 16.5 mm gauge track, which is inaccurate for 4 mm scale (it is accurate for (A trivalent metallic element of the rare earth group; occurs together with yttrium; forms highly magnetic compounds) HO scale).
		OO gauge was based on (Click link for more info and facts about HO scale) HO scale (3.5 mm:1 ft (305 mm)), and kept the same gauge.
		However, Trix decided to use a new standard of 3.5mm to the foot or 1:87, and this scale came to be known as ' (A trivalent metallic element of the rare earth group; occurs together with yttrium; forms highly magnetic compounds) HO'.

		The American OO Gauge SIG was formed in the fall of 1985 and is dedicated to the preservation and advancement of American OO gauge, which has a scale of 4mm=1ft.
		This scale, which is slightly larger than HO scale, flourished in the 1930s through the mid-1950s.
		For a variety of reasons, while American manufacturers sorted this out so that gauge and scale were consistent, the British opted for the OO scale of 4mm on HO gauge track.

		Most of the commercial scales also have standards that include wheel flanges that are too deep, wheel treads that are too wide, and rails that are too large.
		This, EM gauge and P4 scale are all 4mm scale standards; the scale is the same, but the track standards are incompatible.
		OO uses the same track as HO, which is not correctly to scale, but it is the most common British standard for ready-to-run trains.

	phorum - 'Bach Man' Message Board - OO scale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The best-known model railroad in OO scale was probably Cark Appel's Virginian and Ohio, which appeared a number of times in the hobby press in the 1950's and early '60's.
		Scale was 4mm to the foot using 3/4 inch gauge.
		That is to say, the scale of the cars, locos, people, etc. changes from one to the other, but they both retain the same rail-gauge: HO and OO running on the same track, O and 027 (or O-27) running on the same track.

	Almost Scale - filling the gap with adjacent scales
		By "adjacent scales," we mean the scales used in other miniature hobbies which are close to those of model railroading.
		For scale purity, the S scaler is pretty much limited to S gauge model makers and the diecast cars.
		The nearest adjacent scales are 1/100 and 1/144.

		Fraction and scale foot measurements tell us that those using them are focused on the dimensions of objects and distances, whereas those whose main concern is a humanoid miniature rely on figure height measures.
		It is sometimes called 20mm scale, because the average height of figures introduced by a major maker in the 1950s and early 1960s was that height.
		OO was more popular during the 1930s, but was eventually eclipsed by the growing popularity and affordability of HO.

	[ Ant ] Scales ◁ Miniature Figures ◁ FRPGs ◁ Lore ◁ Geek Stuff
		Miniature figure (mini) scales are commonly expressed as the height of a six-foot figure.
		As Andy at Heresy says, “the idea that all figures in a 28mm scale should be the same height … is clearly nonsense!” Women, children, dwarves, hobbits, etc. will be typically shorter than this; ogres, trolls, etc. taller.
		UK railway modellers may also be familiar with 4mm scale; this is not a figure height, but the number of millimetres in a scale foot.

		HO scale was actually born in 1914, as OO, or half-O scale, by Henry Greenly of Basset Lowke.
		The NMRA would develop standards in the late 1930's for HO scale in America, which is 1/87 scale trains running on the same 16.5mm track gauge track as OO.
		HO scale brought craftsmen and serious modelers to the hobby who build life-like and prototypical layouts, with realistic operation.

	RE: RE: A Two Day Workshop for Software Architects
		One OO principle that gets thrown about quite a bit is the notion of colocating code with the data it acts upon, and hiding that data from the outside.
		Scaling OO across the enterprise would have meant forcing some technological diktat down everyone's throats that could have had the side effect of undermining efforts of some groups to solve an internal business problem for which a particular technology proved particularly well suited.
		OO did not give me an adequate framework for such decisions, and it still doesn't.

		Double-O scale model railways were first launched by Bing[?] in 1921 as 'The Table Railway', running on 16mm track and scaled at 4mm to the foot.
		(It is thought that this may have originated as 'Half-O' gauge, but there is no proof of this.) In 1938, the Meccano Company launched a new range of OO (4mm to the foot) models under the trade name of Hornby DublO[?], and the OO scale has remained as the UK's most popular ever since.
