The “N” scale model train is one of the smallest available. These model trains are the most popular of the small scale trains. N scale varies depending upon where you are in the world. In the UK it’s 1:148, it is 1:150 in Japan, and 1:160 worldwide. The Arnold company of Nuremburg, Germany, produced the first commercially available N scale models starting in the early 1960s. A model of a 2-6-6-2 locomotive in N scale is about the length of a lead pencil!

All N scale trains operate on 9mm gauge track.
HO trains are twice the size of N scale. An N scale railroad can fit about twice the train layout as an HO layout. With N scale you can have vast expanses in your layouts, without taking up too much room! Imagine a wide prairie scene with your locomotive chugging along in the distance.
This is a fascinating way to create your own worlds.
With a few friends who are interested in the same idea, you can create a wide variety of layouts, based on shoebox sized scenes! At the end of the day, storage is easy!
The cost of N scale model trains is comparable to the cost of HO model trains. Locomotives can run from $45.00 on up, and can be configured with sound, smoke, DCC. Rolling stock is also available in the full range of detail, models, manufacturers and pricing.
N scale model trains offer another variation in the exciting world of model railroads. You get lots of detail in a small amount of space – you literally can double the fun (over HO) for about the same cost of equipment and space!
