| About
On30? I set up this page a long time ago when 0n30 was finding a following in the UK. This interest seems to have waned recently and Bachmann have dropped a lot of the locos and rolling stock in the range. There is a more receent 0-6-0 tender locomotive with DCC/sound options. I am leaving the page here for information and I am happy to order anything that is available. I also sometimes have a few items in stock so worth asking. sandy@gardentrains.co.uk I know, it's not G scale but I can't help thinking of it as a kind of honourary garden railway, something you can use in the winter while the garden is full of leaves and rain. Having said that I know people have set up 0n30 in the garden and I'm sure it would be quite feasible using PECO Nickle silver track. On30 trains are (US 1:48) 0 scale running on 00 track representing narrow gauge 2 foot 6 (30 inch). The trains are made by Bachmann. They use 0-12v DC track power as standard, are DCC ready and come with a form of Kadee couplings. Suitable Nickle silver track is made by PECO in their 0 - 16.5 Streamline range (SL-500/SL-E595/6/7). The Bachmann locomotives and coaches are all based on turn of the century US prototypes. Locomotives include a Mogul (2-6-0) tender engine, an 0-4-0T and 0-4-2T, a small 4 wheel gas/mechanical and the Shay, Climax, a Consolidation (2-8-0). There is a range of coaches, box cars, tankers and now log disconnect wagons. There are also a couple of nice closed street cars. Regular releases of new items do happen. Accessories for 0n30 Bachmann make a number of matching 0 scale building kits at very reasonable prices - Plasticville USA (honest). Ask me for details. Woodland Scenics and Preisser make 0 scale figures which go very well with these trains. Call for more details |

Moguls and Porters can be DCC fitted but it involves taking your engine apart. There are websites showing how to do this. |
