Other terms used include O16.5, Oe, and On2˝. It is part of the hobby of rail transport modelling.On30 uses the American O scale of 1/4" to the foot, (ratio 1:48) to operate trains on HO gauge (16.5 mm gauge) track.The 30 indicates the scale/gauge combination is used to model 2'6quot; (30quot;) narrow gauge prototypes, although it is often usedto model 2' and 3' gauge prototypes as well. This scale/gauge combination is sometimes referred to as On2˝.O16.5 in the United Kingdom is a model railway scale/gauge combination of 7 mm to the foot O scale (1:43.5 ratio) with 16.5 mmgauge track. It thus represents the prototype gauge of just over 2 ft 4 in, although also widely used to model 2', 2'3' and 2'6'gauge UK prototypes.Oe is the European notation for O scale using 16.5 mm gauge track. In Germany and many other European countriesO scale uses a ratio of 1:45, and the prototypes represented are the European 750 mm and 760 mm narrow gauges.On30 is regarded as the fastest growing gauge/scale combination. Proponents of the scale suggest the appeal lies in themodels representing "quaint"narrow gauge prototypes. The scale gives the models a certain bulk, and allows details to beeasily seen. At the same time electrically and mechanically it is the same as the very popular HO scale, ensuring reliability ofoperation. Models can also round tight radius curves, allowing layouts to be built in confined spaces. Lastly models are cheaperto purchace than those produced for On3 or larger scales such as G gauge.Critics, particularly in the United States, point to the inaccurate track gauge, especially when modelling 2' or 3' gauge prototypes.They also dislike the tendency to modify HO models, claiming this produces freelance models that would not have beenbuilt in reality."This information found:Wikipedia EncylopediaFind more On30 Model Railroading Here:On30 Model RailroadingOn30 Model Railroading.
