Now - Here's a teaser for you. There are a lot of designations for scales and gauges in railway modelling, both standard and narrow gauge. For instance, "HOe" refers to HO-scale (1/87th) narrow gauge trains on 9mm N-gauge track (similar to the British OO-9), and "Oe" is O-scale (European, 1/45th) narrow gauge for 16.5mm (HO) track (similar to the British O-16.5). But what can we call O scale (1/45th or 1/48th or 1/43.5th) running on TT (12mm) track? I've not found anything about this scale/gauge combination, though I have some paper models for just that scale/gauge combination, representing real prototype 540mm gauge! I'm provisionally calling it "Oe-12" for 1/45th scale, and O-12 for 1/43.5th, but do you know a correct term.......?????

The gauge for 600mm narrow-gauge railways in 1:45 scale is called 0f (like for 1:87 it's H0f).
