HOn30 (also called HOn2½, HO9 and H0e) gauge is the modelling of narrow-gauge railways in HO on N (9 mm / 0.354 in) gauge track in 1:87 scale ratio.

Discover unique HOn2 1/2/HOn30/HOe Model Trains for collectors & hobbyists. Shop steam locomotives, passenger coaches & more in narrow-gauge railroading.

The kit builds into a highly detailed scale model of a 20HP War Department Light Railway petrol tractor. Many hundreds of these locos were used in Northern France during the First World War to transport goods to and from the area two within 2 miles of and behind the allied trenches.

May 13, 2021 · I know I can use N scale track for HOn30 but I am having difficulty finding the equipment to use on the line. Does anyone know where I can get the rail and ties I need for hand laying the track and more important where I can buy a HOn30 engine and cars.

HOn30 Narrow Gauge products are HO models that run on N scale (9mm) track while the trains themselves are still HO Scale! Popular manufacturers for HO scale trains include Bachmann and Peco.

Feb 13, 2018 · About 18 months ago, I ordered an HOn30 short boxcab from Shapeways; I used a custom Bull Ant mechanism for Boothbay Railway Village. I also kitbashed a couple of critters from Athearn Hustler bodies and Bachmann N scale 44 tonner mechanisms.

Building a HOn30 layout, based on the Sugar Cane & Shire Tramways of Queensland, Australia. This freelance model tramway runs on 9mm narrow gauge and will operate a couple of 13 tons “Class A” Shay locomotives.

Jan 11, 2025 · So first I'll show a set of HOn30 diesels I built as a tribute to a fallen member of the RR-L. That would be Bill Andersen (aka geezer). And I also scratch built a set of four HOn30 electric box cabs. I'll start the thread off with these pictures of the six sets of power.

Oct 26, 2013 · The key to modeling in HOn30 is building locomotives that run reliably. Chris seems to have solved that issue with some absolutely amazing models. Jeff Bissonette documents some of his work on his blog and it is a must see if you are interested in fine scale engineering. The WW&F is one of my favorite railroads.

Dec 9, 2000 · The purpose of the list is to encourage discussion about modeling Two Foot Railroads in HOn30 or HOn2-1/2. The primary focus of this list is modeling in HO scale on N-gauge tracks, but please feel free to discuss other scales if you make mention of it …
