What is the difference between ho and HOn3?
The larger the scale, the more room it takes for an extensive layout. Using HO as an example, HOn3 means HO scale, narrow gauge, 3′ between the rails. HOn2 would be HO scale, narrow gauge, 2′ between the rails. HOn30 is a little different as that is HO scale, narrow gauge, 30 inches between the rails.
What gauge is HOn3?
HOn3 (1:87 narrow gauge Scale) Commonly used for replicating historic narrow gauge railroads such as the Denver and Rio Grande Western’s Colorado system, the scale has only recently been reflected in commercially available models.
Who makes HOn3 track?
Most Japanese and Taiwanese HO scale models are made to run on 16.5mm gauge track and are made to 1:80 scale (Tomix, Kato and Tenshodo for Japan being the main brands and Haskell for Taiwan) but some small volume HOn3. 5 kits and brass models are made for Japan with Imon being a major supplier.
Will HOn3 run on N scale track?
HOn3 (HO scale, 36 inch gauge) is designed to run on accurately scaled track, 10,5mm gauge. HOe, aka HOn2 1/2 (according to MR magazine) or HOn30 (everyone else outside of Japan,) is used for 30 inch gauge prototypes and runs on N scale 9mm gauge track.
Will HOn3 run on HO track?
HOn3 (HO scale, 36 inch gauge) is designed to run on accurately scaled track, 10,5mm gauge. HOe, aka HOn2 1/2 (according to MR magazine) or HOn30 (everyone else outside of Japan,) is used for 30 inch gauge prototypes and runs on N scale 9mm gauge track. Granted that 30 inches was a most uncommon gauge in North America.
Can HOn3 run on N scale track?
HOn3 is NOT compatible with current N scale track.
What is 0n30 scale?
On30 uses the American O scale of 1⁄4 inch to the foot, (ratio 1∶48) to operate trains on HO gauge (16.5 mm / 0.65 in) track.
What is OO9 gauge?
OO9, often also denoted as 009 or 00-9 is a model railway scale and gauge combination of 4 mm scale and 9 mm (0.354 in) gauge tracks, which models a prototype track gauge of 2 ft 3 in (686 mm).
What is On30 scale trains?
What is HOn3 track?
HOn3 Scale (1:87), otherwise known as HO Narrow Gauge, is a subcategory of HO scale trains. HOn3 trains run on track whose rails are more narrowly distanced from each other than rails on HO scale, or standard gauge, track. These trains are therefore able to operate on tighter radius curves.
