The differences in the various O gauge and O scale standards can be confusing. O gauge model railroad tracks typically have their rails spaced 1 1⁄4" or 32mm apart with the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) standard allowing spacings between 31.75mm and 32.64mm.

Famous quotes containing the word standards:
“As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If one doesn’t know one’s own country, one doesn’t have standards for foreign countries.”

“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
