N is Popular amongst railway modellers in Britain, Europe amd much of the rest of the world, second only to OO/HO.
Being roughly half the scale, however, N gauge (or N scale as it is termed outside of the UK) offers tremendous appeal for those who have limited space available for a layout, or those who aspire to see lengthy express passenger or freight trains running through expansive landscapes. There is extensive commercial support for N from proprietary manufacturers and smaller suppliers - a huge variety of locomotives, coaches, wagons, trackwork items and structures are available 'off the shelf', not to mention vast ranges of kits, scenic materials and detail accessories.
If you are planning your first N gauge project then this book serves to provide you with the information and guidance you need to get started. Content includes; layout design considerations, using digital control in N, laying and ballasting N gauge track, step-by-step modelling guides, layout construction features and a selection of track plans to inspire your own project.
N gauge modelling, of course, lends itself to working with limited space but its small appearance also means you can potentially pack in more detail in the room you have available. Full of tips and advice to get started in this popular scale.
