They are invaluable. I model in N-scale (1/60th) and O scale (1/48th) as well as HO. These rulers are inexpensive --- you can buy them in either metal or plastic. I reccommend the metal ones.

In HO, rails are usually spaced 16.5 millimeters apart which models the standard railroad gauge of 4' 8.5" or 1435mm.<br><b>References : </b><br> In HO scale, 3.5 millimetres represents 1 real foot; this awkward ratio works out to about 1:87.086.
