What is OO9?
OO9 is 4mm to the foot scale (that is OO or 1/76) but using 9mm track gauge (the same size as N gauge). This is narrow gauge modelling and is meant to represent 2ft gauge in real life.
The name comes from OO scale and 9mm track.
It is a very similar scale to HOe which is HO narrow gauge, so 1/87 scale on 9mm track. Couplings are compatible between OO9 and HOe.
Narrow gauge railways were mostly found in industrial use, say for instance in a quarry. A few passengers trains also run on narrow gauge such as Lynton and Barnstaple railway or the Ffestiniog railway.
