Scale/Gauge Comparison

[nachoman]

MM - I've got a few HOn3 truss rod boxcars, and an N-scale steel caboose, and I can tell you they aren't even visually close in size - if that helps you any. I thought about this issue years ago when I thought of "up sizing" N-scale cars into HOn3, but then I saw that they really aren't close enough in size, so it is much easier to just cut down standard gauge cars. I've seen some N-scale freight cars of the 1890-1920 era, but I agree, they are not very common.
