[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole G-scale running on HO track? Yikes! The amount of overhang must really be something. What keeps the rolling stock from tipping off the track? I know that the new Bachmann On30 models run on HO track, but can't imagine G scale rolling stock with HO trucks under it. [/quote] Not to worry cacole, full size "G" scale models will not be run on HO trucks. What I am building is a model of those little mine trains that go right into the mine tunnels on very narrow tracks....about 18" gauge. I may end up converting some On30 locos to Gn15 by building larger cabs and swapping out other details like the head light and bell for larger ones. Most mining tramways (railroads) had 4 wheel locos and rolling stock so they could go around sharp curves. This fact will enable me to fit a lot of action into a small space since these models will negotiate a 6" radius curve. These trains are the same SCALE as other "G" models (1:22/1:20) but a smaller track gauge. The same size "people" will also be used on these little trains. Many of these mining tramways are still in operation in the US and around the world. If you want to learn more about these tiny "G" scale mine trains go to the FYI thread on page 2 of this forum and look for "Gn15". OLD DAD
