I have been looking for a while and the only thing I have found is flexible track.
Can't imagine flexible track and those that lay their own tracks are the only alternative.
Is there a provider of HOe track?
I'm looking for HOe track compatible with BEMO models.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi. Roco and Peco both make set track items. Look for OO9 under Peco as it is the same as HOe but to 4mm/ft scale but 9mm Gauge.
Hope this helps.

If I remember, HOe models run HO scale trains on N track. HOm track is between HO and N in track width. There are companies which make HOe track, but a lot of modellers simply use N Track for their HOe setups.
Over the years, Bemo has more and more focused on HOm as the standard and models can be adapted to HOe if required by the modeller.

I have some H0e material, same functional width as HOn30 but sleeper sizes vary. For myself I will only use N as substitute in hidden areas since the sleepers are not to scale and look odd with 1:87/H0 scale. And even though the track width is not exact scale, the look of the sleepers in correct scale will be an issue for getting the "look right" if that is your aim... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOn30_gaugeBUT of course, N is easier to get, especially if you are looking for second hand material. If you have N, or get some cheap N from a train show say, then use that until you want to set up something more permanent or prototypical. Bemo H0e material is relatively pricy, but is good stuff. I believe Roco should still offer H0e material. I have two Roco H0e loks. Planning to just have a branch line within a broader H0 layout. Not integrated into H0e, which is also possible with 2-rail systems where there are three rails but not centred as in AC, rather think of it as N laid into H0. i suppose i obligate myself to find a link for this... found one, "dual gauge turnouts" https://handlaidtrack.co...right.pdf?v=7516fd43adaaBemo H0e track https://www.besserepreis...-h0e/bemo-gleise-h0e.htmRoco H0e track https://www.besserepreis...e-&-zubeh%c3%b6r.htmLet us know if this helps.

In single point perspective, where do track lines meet?

Thanks a lot for your replies.
Another quick question, what is the difference from HOe and HOm?
Still not sure what I want to do with the Bemo models I have. But if I can’t at least display them on a straight piece of track, then I will probable let them go…
Thanks again!
Eduardo

Hi Eduardo. Both are to H0 scale ( 1/87) or 3.5mm /foot but run on narrow gauge track.
H0e is H0 scale on 9mm track gauge ( N gauge) and represents 800 mm gauge hence the "e"for eight hundred.
H0m is H0 scale on 12mm track gauge ( TT Gauge) and represents 1 metre gauge hence the "m" for metre.
Bemo models are usually for H0m gauge but some items have axles and wheels which allow adjustment to 9 or 12mm gauge.
True narrow gauge track will have rails and sleepers ( Ties) which are to H0 scale rather than N or TT scale.
The American version of H0e is H0n30 which represents 30 inch gauge or 2 foot 6 inch and runs on 9mm track
Hope this helps.

Mike C These guys had some track, but shipping seems to be to Europe only.

Peco do "HOm" track and they also do "OO9" which I believe has the same track gauge as "HOe". They do have stockists beyond Europe and even if they don't have one in Puerto Rico, I would have thought that some of the big UK stockists such as "Hattons", " Rails of Sheffield" or "Gaugemaster" would post track overseas or maybe you could find a dealer in the US.
