HOm scale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HOm scale or HOm gauge is used to represent meter gauge trains in the same scale as HO scale. It runs on 12 mm gauge tracks (which is the same as TT scale). Modern HOm trains run on realistic-looking two-rail track, which is powered by direct current (varying the voltage applied to the rails to change the speed, and polarity to change direction), or by Digital Command Control (sending commands to a decoder in each locomotive). It is a popular scale in Europe, particularly for trains of Swiss outline.
Ready to run models are widely available from companies like Bemo and D+R Modellbahn, a number of companies also produced more detailed handmade brass models - lemaco, ferro-suisse.
