Gn15 is modeling large scale (often 1:24) on 16.5mm gauge track.
Since this track gauges scales out to about fifteen inches on a prototype railway,
we term these models as 'Gn15'
The joy of these models is that On30 or HO components can be used.

Layouts can be as small or as large as desired.
I prefer small, compact layouts,
but two of the members here on Freerails have beautiful, room-sized layouts.
One of my layouts had a sea side, industrial theme.

On30 track gives a good representation of narrow gauge rail and ties.

There are so many opportunities to explore in the world of Gn15.
No matter what your interest is in this wonderful hobby there is a world of fun in Gn15.
I hope the other Gn15 modelers here will share their photos, too.
Thanks for looking.
Regards, Dave L.

I use Code-100 rail, for my Gn15 track, but it looks a bit small.
What size rail are you using ?
It looks larger than my Code-100.

Hi,
That's Peco code 143 flat bottom,
and would represent a rail height of about 80mm - 90mm in 1:22.5 or 1:24.
Peco Code-124 is also very fine, but it's bullhead profile,
and fixing with rail spikes was easier with the flat bottom rail.

Unfortunately, all my track is finished.
Code-100 rail is easy to find in the U.S. so that's what I went with.
Also, I had 16 PECO turnouts (points) on hand in Code-100.
Your track does look able to carry heavy loads.
I like all the foliage along your right of way too.

Gn15 can combine HO components with scratch building superstructures. Regards, Dave L.

What about a small, steam critter using an HO Dockside loco? Dave L.
