Hmm.. Can only pick 1 I model On30 & Gn15 as well as my standard gauge HO!

While I have a couple of HOn3 engines my main emphasis at present is to get my layout completed for running Std. HO and as I go along I'll try and work in some HOn3. I was just looking at an area last night that might accommodate using some HOn3 to reach a mine via a different route than I had planned.

There's a fair ways to go before I get there though.

I model HO to look like narrow gauge...

That's the spirit, malletman...

...always give in to the train voices.

I have been of the narrow minded mindset for many years. The roster of brass engines has grown this past week. I picked up a Ken Kidder HOn3 mogul for $25 in its orignal box, it was in pieces, but is now all back together, painted and waiting for a can motor. Monday the mail man dropped off my Nevada Co Narrow Gauge #9, early run with the angled drive that is prone to fast wear. Its been pro painted, can motored and DCC-ized already. I had been outbid on a nice Balboa K36 on ebay, but I found another one that cost me less than what that one on ebay ended up going for over at Caboose Hobbies, it arrived today. And while I do love the smaller engines, this chunky K class is the cat's arse to say the least! Needs painted, a coreless motor and dcc installed. I got it running halfway decent and resolderd a split steam in the smokebox tonight. I will probably ship it off to my painter over the summer months when I am busy with my other hobbies and the trains are parked for the summer. Cheers Mike

Like Scordicus I also model narrow gauge in several scales I started in HOn30 and moved on to 1-35th scale. Saw the B'man On30 and couldn't resist the Forney. Then there is the 1-24th scale micro layout sitting here waiting to be finished. Not that I like narrow gauge you understand ( tongue in cheek).

HOn3 is my scale.

I have always loved the look of narrow gauge. My inspiration was Furlow's SJC back in '82.

On3 for me

Started in HO then HOn3 moved to On3 in the 80's. Played a little with On30 and On2.

Your impeccable detail work is inspiring...

I myself am wanting to get into HOn3. There are too many strange things to be done in that scale.
