00n3 is the description given to modelling 3 ft ( 914 mm) narrow gauge railways in 4 mm scale with 12 mm ( 0.472 in) gauge track. 3 ft ( 914 mm) prototypes were common in Ireland and the Isle of Man, but the scale is not generally used outside the British Isles. 12 mm ( 0.472 in) gauge track is the same as that used in TT scale and HOm, so some ...
The history of the U class is complex as it is linked to the fate of the 2-cylinder K ("River") class 2-6-4 tank locomotives. The design work for a new passenger 2-6-0 with 6 ft (1.83 m) driving wheels was complete by 1927, when the involvement of a K class locomotive in the Sevenoaks rail crash presented an opportunity to bring forward construction of the class.

On2 scale model of a SR&RL Coach, kitbashed from two Bachmann On30 coaches. On2 gauge is part of the hobby of rail transport modeling. The name is based on the common USA model railroad O scale ('oh' scale) of 1:48 and refers to the gauge between the rails (2 ft (610 mm) ) and the fact that it is narrow gauge, thus 'On2'.

History. The company was founded in 1947 by Albert M. Mercer, K. Linwood Stauffer and Robert Faust, hobbyists who believed that most of the model railroad equipment produced at that time lacked realism. Japan and Germany produced little due to the recently ended World War II, while the main United States train model brands at that time, Lionel ...
