On30 is O scale (1/48 or 1/4” to the foot) that runs on HO scale track. Narrow gauge, in other words. It’s an excellent scale for those who enjoy building super detailed models of mining or logging railroads!
As has been mentioned, it is 0 scale (1/4" = 1 foot), "N" is for narrow gauge (less than standard gauge of 4' 8 1/2" between rails), 30" gauge (nominally) which in the model world runs on H0 scale track, or its equivalent. The models are often built usingH0 trucks and motor mechanisms, though there are many purpose built models also on the market.
What a beautiful Layout!
Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!
Phil, what radius did he use on his reverse loops?
Very impressive. Are the bridges scratch or kit built?
What is on30 mean I'm new to model railroad I'm modeling the CB&Q and would like to learn a lot of new things

It would have been a lot more interesting at half the speed
