The variety is more in the origin of the layouts rather than scale, be they based on Australian (traditionally 6 separate state systems), British (in its myriad of forms) and American leading, with European based layouts following.

H0 is the leader probably because it is the most supported by the “trade”. Over the last couple of decades we have been able to buy Aussie outlined locos and rolling stock off the shelf along with a growing abundance of Australian style architecture kits in that scale..
