HOn2-1/2 = HOn30, 30" between the rails. HOn3 = 3 feet/36" between the rails. They are not the same gauge, one will not run on the other. HOn30 I think was devised to be able to run HO scale narrow gauge equipment on N scale track, because that's what it scales out to in HO scale. I'm not sure if there are currently non brass HOn30 engines avaiable, AHM used to offer them and I believe its called HOe in Europe and there is equipment available there. Many modelers use N scale mechanism and add larger bodies. There are small firms making bodies for N scale equipment. This makes this particular scale/gauge combination a lot cheaper than HOn3, which has been mostly powered by expensive brass engines. Others can fill in the current status if they know. I'm personally into HO standard gauge and On30 - O scale running on HO sized track. Confused? Join the club! [:D] Bob Boudreau
