009 / hOe - OO or HO Bodies running on N gauge track.

Not the easiest of narrow gauges to model if, like me, you are of advanced years with eyes that match the age. A very small scale for the younger modeler too, which may put too many difficulties in the way to produce that wonderful feeling of achievement.

The bodies can be a cut and welded commercial loco with a chassis stolen from a poorly N gauge loco. The major work is to ensure the motor unit fits properly into the body and that the wheels are at the right height to allow clearance on the tracks.

Feeling bold? - then give it a try! NOT feeling so bold? - then buy a ready made model - Liliput (spelled with one L) do several models already to run. They are expensive though, so be prepared to spend some serious money if you want a well populated layout.

Put off? Then go to the next page and see about a larger narrow scale that anyone can model.
