Frequently Asked Questions
Which scale should I choose?
The best scale depends on your space and goals:
- On30 — largest size, most visual detail
- HOn3 / HOm — realistic narrow gauge layouts
- HOn30 — compact HO-scale narrow gauge
- Nn3 — smallest footprint for tight spaces
If you already model in HO or N, choosing a compatible system makes expansion easier.
What’s the difference between HOn3, HOn30, and HOm
These are all HO-scale narrow gauge systems, but with different track widths:
- HOn3 (10.5mm) — represents 3’ gauge
- HOn30 (9mm) — represents 2’ gauge
- HOm (12mm) — represents meter gauge
Each offers a different balance of realism, size, and available space.
What is dual gauge track?
Dual gauge track uses three rails to allow standard gauge and narrow gauge trains to run on the same track.
This lets you:
- combine multiple systems
- save space
- create realistic interchange operations
Our HO-compatible systems use dual gauge to integrate with existing layouts.
Can I use this track with my existing layout?
Yes — many of our systems are designed for compatibility:
- HO dual gauge works with Kato HO Unitrack
- Compatible with legacy systems like Blackstone ProTraxx
- Modular sections allow easy integration into existing layouts
Check each system page for full compatibility details.
Is this track only for permanent layouts?
No — our sectional track systems are designed for both:
- Temporary layouts (tabletop or floor setups)
- Permanent layouts (mounted and scenicked)
Sections connect easily, making them ideal for testing layouts or building modular setups.
How do I get started?
Start with a basic loop or starter set, then expand over time:
- Build a loop
- Expand into an oval
- Add sidings and structures
- Incorporate tunnels or dual gauge
Each system is designed to grow with your layout.
Can I expand or customize the track?
Yes — the system is fully modular:
- Multiple curve radii and angles available
- Straight sections extend layouts
- Custom track sections can be produced on request
This allows you to build anything from simple loops to complex layouts.
