[quote user="hon30critter"] With respect, let's get the first part straight - 'gauge', not 'gage'. I model partly in HOn30. I always thought that HOe was the same thing but maybe I'm wrong. Dave <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] Dave, you are right - they are all the same! HOe, HOn30, HOn 2 1/2 - whatever the name of your poison is, it comes from the same still. HOe started in the early 1960´s, when Egger introduced their range of minute HO locos and cars running on 9mm track. In order to distinguish them from the standard gauge HO stuff, the "e" was added, meaning "eng", German for narrow. The name stuck on, but only in continental Europe. At about the same time, the East German manufacturer Zeuke introduced a range of narrow gauge locos and cars running on TT scale track, representing meter gauge trains and named HOm.
