There were a couple European manufacturers that sold HOn2 1/2 engines, they were maketed by IHC or AHM, and Flying Zoo from Japan made some also. They also made some cars, mostly logging or mining cars.

In HOn3 the only RTR is brass, as far as I know. MDC made some locomotive kits and there are numerous companies that make car kits.

To get a start on models available, check out Walthers (for rolling stock and non-brass locomotives) and Caboose Hobbies (brass locomotives) web sites. www.walthers.com www.caboosehobbies.com

Another good start is Custom Railway Supply @ 719-634-4616. I don't model narrow guage but I always like to dig thorugh the narrow guage stuff, and they have a lot of it.
