With the reintroduction of the Minitrains Narrow Gauge models that where popular in the 60's a growing number
of  HOn30 trains is released. While the outside appearance has hardly changed the new drive mechanism of the
locos and the various colors generate a lot of joy.  As the sole authorised Importer to the European Union we
have taken over the necessary regulatory  affairs and registrations and  present the available models in this website.
Minitrains models are HO scale and run on 9 mm track, they are usually called HOe models.
Other and equal descriptors for this gauge are HOn30 and HOn 2 1/2. In England the 009 scale can be found that
runs on the same track but is slightly larger (scale is 1:76 instead of the HO scale of 1:87)  
For track we suggest to use the PECO narrow gauge track with 9 mm width.
