Here is my first attempt at OO9 modelling. It is a Knightwing plastic diesel shunter kit married to a Farish 0-6-0 shunter chassis.

 Never a silly question WTD. If you don't know, never be afraid to ask!

 

OO9 is OO scale (4mm to one foot) on 9mm gauge (N) track. It computes to 2 feet 3 inch gauge , but many people ignore the odd mm and use it for anything from 2 foot to 2 foot 6 inch gauge. My preferred scale os 2 foot 3 inch gauge which is right for 9mm track of course, but also  is the gauge of the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway amongst others.

 

RAF - that is how 90% of my garden railway is constructed, except that it also has proper sleepers nailed to longitudinal battens. The whitemetal chairs are secured with tiny brass pins, which ensures they last a bit longer outdoors.  Rail is brass. 10% of the garden line is laid with modern plastic based On32 track.
