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

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 :)
