On3 is O scale that models 3 ft gauge, and runs on HO track.
On3 models will not run on HO track, gauge is 3/4inch (slightly wider).
narrowing wheels on axles will allow operation on HO gauge track as used for
On30.

Thank goodness there is a NG-16 on a private railroad in Texas. That is all the excuse I would need to obtain one for my fictional railroad. Well, likely two. One to leave in more or less original appearance and then one to "Americanize."
As Baldwin held the North American rights to the Garratt designs what might it have looked like.
Hmmm Baldwin Garratts pulling logging trains
There are only two more locomotives I want to see Bachmann produce. The ever requested Heisler and a Garratt, either an NG-16 or the huge beast on the Puffing Billy.
Not sure the G 41/42 are huge beasts compared to the NG-16s
Stack height is only 2&3/4 inches higher,
Wheel base is 1ft 3inchs longer
Overall length is 2ft 3inchs longer
Hopefully the statement about 1:45 was a teaser of what lies in the future.
