HO Scale Model
Railroading
HO Scale is generally the most commonly modeled of the four major gauges (N, HO, O, G) because it features good detail in a relatively small package with reasonable pricing.
Ratio
1:87 Scale
Pricing
Engines: A typical basic HO gauge locomotive will range from as low as
$30.00-$40.00 for a very basic diesel engine to
$500.00 or more for a large detailed steam locomotive.
Rolling Stock: HO gauge rolling stock can run as little as
$4.00 for a very basic tank car to $60.00
or more for detailed passenger cars.
Structures: HO gauge buildings can run anywhere from
$3.00 to $300.00 or more depending on
size and detail.
Space Requirement
A classic figure 8 style setup in HO gauge will measure roughly 48 by 96 inches.
Why Choose HO Scale?
HO scale balances great detail and features with
a relatively small size making it a great
choice if detail is important to you
but space is somewhat limited.
Because of the popularity of the scale the selection of
products available is the best of all major gauges with a number
of different manufacturers competing to keep prices low.
