Go to www.hornbyrailways.com/pages/livestm_live.aspx and you will find information about Hornby's new steam locomotive for HO/OO gauge rail tracks (16.5mm) . OO scale is 4mm to the foot and is the standard for British outline rolling stock in the UK. Although fractionally larger than the HO standard in scale, the smaller loading height means that the vehicles do not look too out of place when side by side with American stock. They run on standard 16.5mm track - although Hornby couplings are hideous looking! <br />The steam locomotive needs a dedicated track as it uses a slightly higher voltage to heat the water in its boiler - 14 volts? The loc is not compatible with DCC either. Could be great for a garden railroad, though!
