Scale/Gauge Comparison

[Graffen]

Regardless, HOn3 and N gauge is not the same gauge!
HOe/HOn30 is the same gauge as N; 9 millimeter.

True but close enough for government work. How much is 6 inches in HO scale, 1/8th inch? Most people couldn't tell the difference if it's the only track on the layout. Bob Hayden used N scale to represent 24" gauge on his HO Carrabasset & Dead River layout. The six inches isn't the focus here it's standard versus narrow gauge I would think in regards to MountainMan's question?

Well, he states it quite clearly:

Given - that HON3 runs on N scale rails:

Which is untrue.....
Furthermore:
To represent 2' gauge in HO, you should use Z-scale track.
The size difference between a N scale 40' boxcar, and a boxcar in HOn3 is huge! The difference is not so huge if it is a HOe/HOn30!
