This came across the HOn3 list and I thought it might be of interest to
someone on this list.

Hello to the group:
I have found some intersting toy trains that can ben used for HOn3.
Maisto, Incorporated makes a die cast 0-6-0 and cars in 1:131 scale.
To save you trying to do the conversion: the track gauges down to
HOn3! I purchased 2 of the tenders and they scale down nicely. The
tank car and quad hopper have some potential (they also ride on HOn3
trucks).
Now here's the trick: Maisto says that they are only available at
Walmart stores; Walmart is the only ones that are ordering them. The
price is about $2.00. Look around the die cast cars for them.
To see what they look like go to:
