Back when I was in my Teenage years, I remember there being a Treble -O- scale. I assumed this became N-scale; but, as is always the case for me, assuming anything makes me an ***-U-ME! Does anyone remember Treble -O- and what happened to it?

 

[MichaelE]

Never heard of OOO scale.

OO scale is widely popular in the UK.

A simple search on Google turned up this:

The Treble-O-Lectric Main Page

That was an interesting read.

MichaelE, As you can see, Treble O certainly did exist. In the information in the Google article Fire21 referenced, there is no information on Treble O's scale, which is what I'm interested in.

From: Lone Star Toys - Wikipedia

Lone Star Treble-O-Lectric trains essentially introduced the concept that would later become British "N" gauge.

 

[mvdeschane]

OOO was 2 mm to the foot.

 

[highvoltage]

Treble-O was 9 mm gauge, N is 9 mm gauge. Other than that, you've exhausted my information on the subject.

Also HOe in Germany and Austria.

Also HOe in Germany and Austria.

H0e is narrow gauge ( HO scale on 9mm track) whereas 000 gauge was standard gauge to 2mm scale.

Yes, I know from reading the information.
