scale to gauge error...
O gauge tinplate ... 5.84%

1:29 ... 9.93%
1:32 ... 0.34%
at least with the error in O gauge, models are under-scaled in regard to the track gauge. that is, the wheels are spaced farther out than they should be.
in 1:29, the model is over-scaled making the wheel gauge look even more narrow than it should be.
