I have a question about On30
I know that it is O gauage and it is narrow track.
But, what kind of track do I get. My friend told me that HO gauage will work?

I have been looking at the Bachamann On30 locos 0-4-0 small side rod locos. I think they are really sharp!!!

I normally model in HO scale, but, I am do a Coal tipple in O scale and I think this loco would fit right in with my project.

Any help would be appreciated.......THANKS
"Rich" :D
