An HOn3 box car is 1.41 times larger than an N scale box car. ( an HO standard gauge box car would be 1.5 times the size of an HOn3 boxcar )
An HOn30 box car might be just a bit smaller ( maybe a foot narrower, and two feet shorter ) than an HOn3 box car, but still larger than an N scale box car. ( N scale track would suffice for HOn30 )
N scale track is 1/8" narrower than HOn3 track.
Nn3 would run on Z scale track.
I'm still considering building my narrow gauge 2-4-4-2 in Nn3, to operate around the dry dock on my N scale Module. 
I just have to find a pair of Z scale 0-4-0 mechanisms.
Hope that helps.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
