Reply to "HO scale question"

If we trust Wikipedia on this one, it's based on being half of the smallest size Marklin made in that time frame, and was actually a zero, not an "O".  Supposedly Germans don't call it HO for this reason, they do call it H0.  Us crazy Americans often substituting "oh" when we mean "zero" since it rolls off the tongue easier...

Link here.  Though a long entry, this part is in the first 2 paragraphs.
