Then of corse there’s narrow gauge usually associated with the 3 ft gauge roads than in CO and NM although narrow gauge trains ran in the east too. On3 would be 1/48 proportioned trains (aka O scale) running on 3ft gauge track (3/4 “ in O scale). Bachmann muddied the narrow gauge waters by offering On30 trains which are O scale trains that run on 30” gauge track.
Back to our three rail hobby, the relaxed approach between scale and gauge is an attraction for me, not a frustration. I appreciate what the 3RS guys do, although that’s not for me. I likewise appreciate tin plate and post war, but those are not fo me either. My hi rail sweet spot is in the middle -mostly semi-scale stuff with some scale equipment mixed in. The fact that my track has 3 rails and the gauge is not strictly O scale is fine with me.
I like wise appreciate that the full spectrum of preferences is welcome on. We have a great hobby
