[edit] Merge proposal
I'm proposing merging this article with HOn30 and OO9. HOe is another term for HOn30 so the two topics should be merged as Wikipedia is not a dictionary. OO9 is another scale but extremely close, and often interchanged. As an example, view On30. --Michael Johnson 11:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I think this was a bad idea - it is a lot more difficult to find HOn30 here now, and HOe is tied to European activity while HOn30 is tied to the Americas. Can we find a way back? Jrygh 21:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think one article on both H0n30 and HOe is a good idea - they are the same scale. There is only one artilce on HO and that covers both the Americas and European subjects. Zabdiel 10:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New image required
The image we have in this article is pretty much useless. It might be of a HOe layout, but has no track or rolling stock to be seen. Ideally, a picture that shows both regular HO and HOe equipment side by side would be the most illustrative, if possible also with some kind of measure or a scale (a simple pencil placed next to a loco would do just fine). --Agamemnon2 08:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of HOe name
I've removed the following from the article as it isn't written in an encyclopedic style:
Nobody seems very sure whether the e suffix in HOe derives from Eggerbahn who first popularised the combination of HO scale and 9 mm gauge track or "etroite" the French word for narrow gauge as in voie etroite.
