Will Tri Ang trains run on Hornby track?
And thankfully, the majority of my OO gauge Triang stock works work fine on the latest Hornby or Peco track. The back to back spacing of the wheels as used on OO gauge Tri-ang and Tri-ang Hornby trains is just the same as modern OO gauge track so you won’t have a problem with the width.
Are all HO scale trains compatible?
Virtually all HO trains are compatible with certain limitations. You’ll have to choose one track brand (we hope you will choose EZ Track!); a control system (DCC or analog), etc. Have fun!
Will HO trains run on OO track?
FAQ: CAN I USE HO AND OO SCALE TRACK TOGETHER? Yes, you can. Both use the same Gauge, which is 16.5mm.
How do Hornby trains work?
Instead, Hornby and similar model trains feature a tiny DC motor. The DC motor turns a shaft which in turn rotates a screw (as in the animation below) which is aligned with a cog as in the animation below. An axel to drive wheels passes through the cog — the lower wheel in the animation.
Which is bigger HO or O scale?
Scale implies that is it a scaled down version of the real thing. O scale used to be called 1/4 inch scale with the ratio to the real thing as 1:48 with HO being 1/8 inch scale and 1:86 or 1:87. O is the larger of the traditional scales.
Is HO and OO track the same?
HO trains run on a 16.5mm gauge track. OO scale is generally only used for models of British prototype. The trains still run on the same 16.5 mm gauge track as HO models. OO models are slightly larger than HO, but the difference is not normally noticeable.

How is mini rail different from regular Tomix?
Since Mini Rail was added to the Tomix N track product line well after the line was first designed and produced, this is either well planned or very lucky! The regular Tomix (and Kato) system therefore has a basic turnout with an odd curve radius that is not the standard radius, and that does not even fit into the incremental curve radius system.
What kind of track system does Tomix use?
This page presents the Tomix N-gauge Fine Track system in the context of basic sectional track system design considerations. It offers a direct comparison to similar N-gauge Kato Unitrack pieces, which is actively exported and internationally better known.
How are the tracks at Tomix and Kato designed?
Tomix (and Kato) station platforms, pedestrian overpass bridges, control towers, maintenance buildings, grade crossings and so on are designed to work with the standard track spacing or a multiple of it.
How big is a Tomix N-gauge sectional track?
It is intended to be used as two pieces in an “S” shape on one of two straight parallel tracks. In this situation it widens the track spacing by 18.5 mm (half the standard track spacing) over a length of 210 mm (3/4 of the standard straight length).
