HO Scale
HO
scale is one of the most popular scale, partially due to it's
size. "HO" stands for half O, meaning it is half the size of O
scale. HO scale is a great size to work with and can be as simple
or complex as you want. The Club currently has two HO
layouts. A 4'x'8 (currently in need of repair) and a modular
traveling layout. Our Modular layout has three main lines.
Most clubs either have their layouts all DC, or all DCC. Our
layout allows operation of both. Any mainline can be switched
between DC or DCC, allowing our members to run anything that they want
to. If your someone new to the hobby/club and don't have trains
and still want to run trains we have a collection of club trains that
anyone can run. The modular layout is usually shown at the fair
and some train shows and the 4'x'8 is typically taken to smaller
shows. There are also a few HO modules in storage from the
display in the Industrial Arts Building layout.
