Four months left 'til "Ho ho ho" ... Whether it is written H0 (Hzero) or HO, I think that we all mean the same thing. The other ones are a denigrative term for women and a garden implement, not to be confused with narrow gauge model trains, which are H0e/HOe with a zero or a capital O. As long as we all understand what we are referring to, there should not be a big issue. If I want H0 or HO, I will come to this forum. If I want a Hoe, I will go to a garden tool shop. If I want a Ho, well that's another story. BTW, is this or is this not MRR? Regards Mike C

Jeremy. As Tom wrote on his original post, it is actually H0 (H - zero) rather than HO - I used to spell it as HO too actually; well, in most typed caption 0 and O are a bit hard to differentiate unless they're side by side. 0-scale was the original Marklin gauge (1:43.5). H0 is approximately half its size.

Regardless whether it is spelled tomato or tomatoe, when added to ground meat and simmered for a long time, it still makes a delicious ragu for pasta. Regards Mike C

Both are correct. Juhan called this forum "H0-scale". Color and colour are both correct spellings. Tomato is correct English while Tomatoe is not ...

The next time I'll go into the shop, I'll ask for narrow gauge tomatoes, narrow gauge potoatoes, narrow gauge carrots, z gauge cauliflower & Zucchinis, O gauge lettuces. I've never looked it upon Halb- Null, although it is the right interpetration or translation. Going straight into HO in my childhood years, I was'nt aware at the time O gauge existed. John
