On30 Gauge
Scale per foot: 6mm to 2ft
Scale ratio: 1:48
Gauge: 16.5mm
Prototype Gauge: Narrow gauge

Oakglen Railroad measures approx 6' by 2' and all fits into the back of large car.

On30 is an O scale [1:48] model railroad with the rails spaced 30 scale inches apart.

Thus making Oakglen Railroad 30 inch narrow gauge. The layout is freelanced, fictional line set around a ore mine in the central plains of the US .

The layout uses Bachmann rolling stock mostly Porter 0-4-0 and 0-4-2 locos and V dump wagons.

One of the attractions to modeling an O scale narrow gauge is that fact that you can use relatively small radius curves (at least in O scale terms). This allows you to pack the track into a smaller space, the layout is therfore built on a single board which makes it easy for transporting.
