Train Tracks N Gauge
Are the hallmark keepsake ornament Lionel trains of the same size gauge Model Trains, N?
Every Christmas for a long time now, I have been receiving I remember my father Lionel Train Hallmark ornaments. He loves trains and, above all these ornaments. I wonder if these ornaments were the same size as model trains N-Gage because I want to see if I can put this train on track N-Gage. If I could do this, I want my track to put these trains. Any input would be great!
In fact, Hallmark ornaments are not built to the same gauge. I happened to have some Hallmark ornaments, some guides N-scale and a measuring gauge sitting at my desk computer, so I did some quick tests in multiple markets. My results: 2006 ornaments - The "Gallery stockcar" has wheels fixed at 8 mm on and close enough to actually roll along the tracks in the gauge N (9 mm). The "Gallery of the turbine" and "Tender Veranda have fixed at 6 mm wheel and not to roll on the track N Gage. Ornaments in 2005 - "New York steam B6 has 8mm gauge wheels and runs on the track N Gage. The "Tender" and "Boxcar" is both relative and 10mm wheels do not fit. The caboose is 9 mm on and is close enough that the wheels can be slid inwards a bit and let the car roll. I suspect that an enthusiastic expert model would fit the rims of N-Gage with these cars and roll them pretty well, but this decrease the value of collectors. Year 2001 ornaments - Chessie Steam "and" Chessie Tender "both have 8 mm gauge wheels and runs on the track N Gage. Without But the steam engine has no rotating movement to the sides and will not back track on the curve. Year 1998 Adorno - "Pennsylvania GG-1" has 8 mm wheels gauge and runs on the track N-Gage. However, no rotational movement to the sides and will not back track on the curve. Therefore, it seems that there is some variation on the wheel size, and some but not all Hallmark ornaments can roll on the track N Gage. You may want to check each individual ornament before heading out to buy any track.
