What kind of O Gauge do you have? Most O Gauge will run on O-36 ( about a 40" circle ). That's a perfect circle around most trees.  If you have a switcher size loco and a couple of cars, you're in business.  Oh yeah, ON-30 trains run on HO track. In size, they are about halfway between HO and O Gauge traditional size, but considerably smaller than full size O Scale.

Ken,
I read the first two lines of your post, got a strange mixture of annoyance and boredom, and decided its simply not worth the effort to try to figure out what you are trying to say..

you will get more help if you try writing in normal sentences that people over the age of 12 can actually understand.."text speak" is just really annoying..

I feared that all this texting would eventually lead to this.  (On the same wavelength, there was also a story last week that 90% of college freshman at some NY university couldn't do a simple algebra problem...)

But I think he is asking if you need anything special to run On30 trains vs HO.  Answer: No.  Use whatever power pack you use for HO to run On30.

If there's another question in there, I missed it do to lack of question marks.
