Hi Folks, I am trying to set up some templates for HOe in the custom settings for scale and gauge. Anyone know of the standards or is it best to use the N gauge dimensions and adjust the timbers? Thanks. Peter |

Hi Peter, > I am trying to set up some templates for HOe in the custom settings > for scale and gauge. I think most commercial models use the N gauge standards, but you could try asking the 009 Society at: http://www.009society.com Some 4mm narrow-gauge modellers are using finer P4-like standards -- cue Paul Boyd for chapter and verse. See the narrow-gauge models on his web site at: http://www.pbhome.myzen.co.uk regards, Martin. |

Hi Martin, I have checked out Paul's site and looked at the finescale narrow gauge track standards, which appears to use a 0.5mm flangeway. I have also got some details of HOn30 which uses 6' x 7" x 5" scale timbers. But I'm not sure of the track centres. I think Peco OO9 track is 18mm sleepers on 10mm spacing but am not sure if this is the same for HOe. I may have to get someone to measure a piece of Tillig track. Regards, Peter |

The oft-quoted "P4 minus 11mm" is actually far too coarse. The flangeway is indeed 0.5mm, and normal N-gauge wheels won't go through. I chose these standards after measuring up some 1960s (I think) track at Dduallt a few years ago and found that 2mm scale standards and 3mm scale chairs were just about spot on for 4mm scale 2ft narrow gauge! |
