Generally, the ~n3 and ~n2 gauges are run on accurate scale track while the ~n30 gauges run on track for the scale that is about half the modelled scale.
HOn3 track is 10.5 mm gauge while HOn30 runs on 9mm N gauge track (scales out to 30.85").
On3 runs on 3/4" gauge while On30 run on HO's 16.5mm (31.06").
For 24" gauge, the Brits use N gauge track and call it OO9; this works out to 27" in 4mm scale. (we'll use this to model Wales West!)
And I'll just mention HOe and HOm which are European designations for??
