N Scale Model Trains | n scale model railroads | 1:148 or 1:160

N Scale Locomotives – Not the Smallest, But Darn Close!

N Scale Numerically Breaks Down Into This Ratio –

1:148 to 1:160 of Full Size
This Translates into (1) inch on the miniature… representing (148 or 160) inches of the “Real Deal”
N Scale (Track) Gauge = 9mm (distance between “running” track)

In the U.K. & Canada, N scale is definitive for 1:148 scale at 9mm track gauge. In the U.S. it represents either ratio.

Each of us has our own perception of either standard depending on our background. Perhaps your family hales from The U.K or Australia in which case you’d perceive the correct ratio to be 1:148. Maybe you’re from the hustle and bustle of Chicago or New York, in that case, N Scale will more than likely hold for the 1:160 ratio.

Either way you can run any of the two on 9mm gauge track.

N scale or micro trains, have a vast worldwide following and has exploded to consume the narrow gauge lovers of today. These micro-train fun factories, aka …(n scale train sets) are so popular that there are inter publications, organizations and conventions dedicated to micro trains of this scale!

Since as early as 1927, narrow gauge railways have been peeping around the corner at mainstream model railway conductors like “YOU”.

In 1962 it finally caught our eyes and an industry was lifted into immortality. Like it’s narrow gauge counterpart, Z scale... N scale is also great for model railway lovers who wish to construct complete cities and towns in a space no bigger than your smallest closet! Why one would want to build in a closet…

I’ll never know but if it fits and you don’t care what people think, then wear it, and wear it proud!
