Kato make everything to fit nine millimetre track, N gauge, but there are a few different scales being used to achieve this.
1:148 British N gauge - used for class 800. Track is more like 1:160 so this is a bit of a fudge, but it works!
1:150 used for narrow gauge such as RhB [1,000 mm (3 ft 33⁄8 in)] and Japanese gauges of 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) and 4 ft 6 in (1,372 mm).
1:160 used for Japanese Shinkansen 'standard' gauge trains, all trains in North America (ie Kato USA), and European standard gauge trains such as Eurostar, Thales, ICE, TGV etc.
To add to this there is now the 1:72 oo9 small England locos. Still running on 9mm track!
