Cover
Miniaturization is rampant in model railroading, too. HO and TT weren't quite small enough for some Europeans, so about eight years ago they invented HHO (half HO) and produced several locos and cars of American prototype. An NYC Hudson and standard Pullman are shown on a rather large hand to dramatize the scale's diminutive size, 1.75mm. = 1 ft. Our understanding is that no HHO equipment is obtainable in the U. S. A. because no firm imports it, and we are not even certain that it is presently manufactured.
