AA 8th Avenue 1 #3 Posted September 14, 2009 I've heard of all these gauges and seen them. N, Z, & TT are all smaller than HO and too delicate. Not to mention the detailing is too small to notice. S is slightly larger than HO but slightly smaller than O/O27 Gauge. O and O27 are the same except O27 has a turn radius of 27 inches and higher with low track ties. O has taller rail ties and has a turn radius of 31 inches and higher. However, Lionel offers an O, 27 inch radius as well. G is large scale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EE Broadway Local 17 #4 Posted September 14, 2009 American Flyer produced nice S Gauge items, particularly in the 1950's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Concourse 2,690 #6 Posted September 18, 2009 I've heard of and have: G Gauge - have one, but just too big and not practical to get another set. O Gauge - 2 sets [Polar Express and a generic Lionel set] O27 Gauge - an older 'Cannonball express' freight set, also as in my pics - I have additional tracks and switches so I can play [manually] with the generic set on the O27 tracks as well HO Gauge - Santa Fe freight set Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pu3rToRoCk8947 0 #7 Posted September 19, 2009 HO seems like the way to go and O scale is for those who like big equipment and tracks and large detailing.I have HO and even though it's small,i'm very happy with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
