The NZ Railway gauge is 39 inches if I recall correctly. As they are a smaller group of modelers overall getting ready made track (HO) was a natural. I do not know just who started this in the first place.. was not sure what your original e mail was referring to.
I was a "guest" of the marine Corps in 1943 and spent time with the 2nd Marine Division in 1943. Fell in love with the railways. And thecountry I suppose Bachman created On30 for the same reason. John Gardner created most of the NZ Ry loco kits. Also the BTS S and Sn3 loco kits. how long have you been in RR modeling. There are a lot of gauges and equipment vesions out there. Call up IRONHORSE HOBBIES IN Christchurch NZ. You can see those prototype kits.

What do you mean: "It is S scale running on HO track"?? I didna understand the intent of your letter. My imagination works well enough that I can model Maine 2 foot, for example, using HO or On30 engines and rolling stock. So how do I translate your note???
