Well Peco is British and has invented many of the model railway
standards.

'I don't get it.'
Back to the subject - the track width is 1.5 inches which puts it
between O Gauge and 1 Gauge so you will have to make your own track or
modify ready-made track and turnouts.

Peco invented OO, no? How important is that, really?
I'd say HO, N, Mantua couplers, Kaydee couplers and command control are
all more important. Peco invented none of those, I don't think.

Um? By volume, OO is bigger than HO. They Invented 2 different types of OO
couplers, and were the first with a large (mass produced) scale track system.
(which is a standard throughout the world...go into most good hobbyshops and
you will see Peco track)
Command Control was invented by GE, and the rest was an attempt to make a
american style coupler that worked. (and I'd hardly call non Kadee couplers
have much on the way of working...)
HO is a german invention, and OOO predates N :)

Um, what are you talking about when you say by volume? Are you saying
that the number of OO modelers is larger than the number of HO modelers,
or what? I don't think so.
HO is used everywhere except in the UK and has thousands of different
manufacturers so I don't know what you're getting on about. Stop being
so UK provincial.
OO was an interesting footnote in the history of scales but it's not
relevant to the mainstream hobby any more.
