Yes, there are rulers. I have one made by General that converts O, S, HO, N and Metric.
Go to Micro Mark and look. They have all kinds of measuring tools.

Store the link in Favorites. You will need it.
Don't forget, HO is 1/87 of full scale. Multiply or divide by 87 with your calculator.
You will find on line calculators also for model railroading and Metric conversion. Do some Google searches for these. I have different on line calculators in Favorites.
