Title: On30 Track Rumor
Post by: ScottyB on November 16, 2024, 11:29:35 PM
Don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't happen!

I heard from a rather reliable source that a certain Japanese company that makes Unitrack is developing On30 track. Not sure if it's Unitrack modules or part of their new flex track they've come out with.

I wouldn't think this something that company would do but it came from a very reliable inside source.

Here's hoping!

Peco has On30 flex track, too.

It's either Peco or Micro Engineering as it is right now.
  *Peco is very sturdy but generally considered toylike
  *Micro Engineering looks great but it's amazingly fragile when you install it
I'd love a third option between the two (even though it's far too late for me as my track has bene in place for 10 years and it's not going anywhere).

Unitrack HOn30 track is available now. The only thing I've heard so far about On30 is people using HO Unitrack for it. Which doesn't mean there may not be something in the works for On30 with better tie spacing.

I talked to Kato at Trainfest today. As I feared, my standard gauge buddies have zero knowledge about narrow gauge. (Aren't they all the same?)

They are developing 009 track, not On30.

Sorry, everyone. My source was a guy who works for a major manufacturer we've all heard of and I thought he had something. In standard gauge modeling world, On30 = 009 = Nn3 = On3 = HOn30.
