HOn3-1/2 scale

HOn3-1/2 scale

HOn3-1/2 or HOn3.5 represents the modelling of 3'6" gauge railways in HO scale, resulting in a model track gauge of 12mm (the same as HOm and TT scale). Trains are operated using direct current or Digital Command Control over realistic-looking two-rail track.

The prototypical Narrow Gauge railways that use the so-called 'Cape Gauge' can be found in South Africa, Indonesia, Australia, Japan and others. A number of these countries run rather significant operations on this gauge, and models can depict anything from small branchline to heavy haulers.

Related Scales

In the same scale standard gauge trains are modelled on 16.5mm gauge track, known as HO scale. [HOn3] uses 10.5 mm gauge to reprisent 3 foot gauge railways
HOe uses 9 mm gauge, as does HOn30, to reprisent railway with gauges of abour 750 mm (or 2 feet 6 inches)
