OO is alive and well over here - we have Hornby, Bachmann, Dapol and others producing RTR, and a whole swathe of kit manufacturers. Basically it's 4mm=1ft on 16.5mm gauge track - technically it should be 18.83mm gauge (and some build layouts to this) though for reasons dating back to the very earliest days the production models are 16.5mm gauge - the early models were designed to handle oversized motors (which would not have fitted in a HO scale British loco due to the prototype being physically smaller than other European and US equipment).
