75 Year Old Model Railroader Needs Advice On His On3 Layout
Mitch has a question for on3 enthusiasts to try and answer:
“Hi everyone. I have a concern regarding scale as I am interested in starting an on3 layout.
I have purchased an engine and a couple of cars and have done some research on the on3 scale. I am a bit puzzeled since on3 is considered narrow gauge for “o” gauge and the scale is 1/4 inch.
If I place an “O” gauge human figure next to the on3 engine and he would have to be on his knees to operate the engine. I also have found structures claiming to be for on3 but look like monsters next to on3 cars.
With out a lot of kitbashing can a reader tell me how does one figure the scale? I guess I would work with 3/16 inch scale, but not sure. Can someone advise me or lead an old modelrailroader of 75 years down the right path? Thanks again – Mitch”
