Gauge O, with 32 mm gauge tracks, is one of the oldest gauges. At the beginning, it replaced the 1:32 scale scale 1 as the market leader due to its smaller space requirement. Over time, in the 1950s and 1960s, it was in turn replaced by the HO gauge and receded into the background. But over time, the market share improved again.
