HO scale track is 16.5 mm, at 3.5 mm to the foot this works out at 56.571428 scale inches as near as dammit to standard gauge-4 ft 8.5 inches.

What's the distance between the rails in the real world? And in HO scale? I know I can just measure my HO scale track * 87.1 but I want to know the exact distance.
