    What model train scale grew popular among hobbyists at one 87th life size, and what does it stand for?

    Question #116716. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Aug 13 10 4:13 PM)

    		"The name H0 is derived from the fact that its 1:87 scale is approximately half that of 0 (zero) scale, hence H0. 0 scale in turn was named following the older and larger 1, 2, and 3 scales. The term H0 is pronounced ("aitch-oh"—that is, the letters "h" and "o"), not "ho" nor "aitch-zero"."
