N Scale Model
Railroading
N scale is
the smallest of the four most common
model railroading gauges (N, HO, O, G)
making it ideal when
space limitations are the number one priority when
choosing a scale.
Ratio
1:160 Scale
Pricing
Engines: A typical basic
N gauge locomotive will range from as low as
$40.00-$50.00 for a
very basic diesel engine to
$275.00 or more for a large detailed steam
locomotive.
Rolling Stock: N gauge rolling
stock can run as little as
$5.00 for a very basic tank car to
$80.00
or more for detailed passenger cars.
Structures: N gauge buildings can run anywhere from
$5.00 to $200.00 or more depending on
size and
detail.
Space
Requirement
A classic figure 8 style setup in N gauge will measure
roughly 19 by 42 inches.
Why Choose N
Scale?
N scale is best when space is at a premium.
N Scale also provides the best scenery
to track ratio.
Even if space is available for HO or O scale
modeling
N scale is a good choice for the hobbyist that desires an intricate
mainline layout.
A detailed N scale layout with a
town and detailed
geographic features can be built with a footprint
equal to that of a very
basic oval O gauge layout.
