Some of my old On30 stuff

Nice work Andy. I like your quote too.

Slow and easy is how I like to run my trains..

Your photo shows that HO really is "half O"!

Looking good Andy. I Love the first one, the yellow & brown, how did you go about doing the dual gauge?

James

I like that dual gauge action!

Andy, Please explain more on your dual gauge, Power/movement through switches. Any special wiring jumpers under track age.......................Brandy

Sorry for the confusion folks. The "Dual Gauge" is nothing more than a photo op on regular 3-rail tube track. The narrow gauge equipment will not actually run (it barely just sits there) on the O-gauge center rail and an outside rail. Strictly just for display.

Someday I'd like to make a narrow gauge train that will actually run on half of the O-gauge three rail track.

Andy,

Very nice work!

I too moved from HO to On30, then O Gauge 3-rail.  However, I purchased my engines and rolling stock from Bachmann Spectru a few years ago.  Nice equipment.  I now only have 1 On30 engine and 5 cars.  Everything else is O Gauge.

Pretty neat looking stuff. Hope your O gauge layout is just as nice!

I went from HO to On30 as well. Now I'm in between layouts and trying to decide which way to go. On30 used to be the poor man's narrow gauge, but at $30-$50 for freight cars now (and little ones at that), I'm looking at getting into O.

Nice stuff though!

That was why was into On30. Cost. I was scratch building so much of my equipment to cut cost even more. But always feeling like I needed to keep building and not "playing" burned me out.

Switching to postwar O27 is a lot cheaper and really the under scale O27 stuff is just about the same size as scale On30. Especially the Marx 3/16" scale stuff.

Found a bunch of old photos of my On30 stuff...
