    N Scale Model Railroad

    As more and more hobbyists get into model railroading, range of preference then becomes an important subject. There are model railroaders that collect exclusively train and train cars, those that don't deal with model railroad scenery and layouts. These hobbyists would prefer larger scale models that have very detailed body (paint and decals) and working stock. And there are those model railroaders that want to build imaginative railroad tracks, a complicated series of interconnecting railways covering perhaps a miniature city block. These hobbyists choose the N Scale Model Railroad, since the N Scale Model has small enough scale to allow for the most elaborate railroad layouts without consuming much space.

    In fact, the N Scale Model Railroad is considered by many to be the elite scale choice for model railroading; for its expensiveness due to the exact manufacturing, the need for more than adequate skills in handling paint and decals, and the want for a model railroad layout and scenery. If you see someone going for the N Scale Model Railroad, its almost assured he would be building a model railroad layout. Most model railroad layouts on public displays, such as what you will see on the San Diego Model Railroad Museum or on the Golden State Model railroad Museum are on the N Scale Model Railroad.

    Model railroad of similar scale did exist in Great Britain even as early as 1927, even before the advent of HO Scale Models. It wasn't as widespread though. Only in 1962 when the concept of N Scale Model Railroad was realized, when model railroading had already extended to miniature modeling the entire working environment of the locomotive did the N Scale Model Railroad became a scale choice.

    Variations of the N Scale exists between regions but always they run on a "9mm track", the distance between the rails is exact 9mm. Majority of American and European model railroad manufacturers build trains on the standard gauge but made on a scale so they run on the N Scale Model Railroad track. In the United Kingdom, who has a collective preference of slimmer models, manufactures theirs on the 1:148. Whereas the N Scale Model Railroad is at 1:160, the difference is very minuscule to affect the operating condition.

    In Japan, where global standard gauge of the HO Scale Model Railroad (at 1:87) is already considered large, the N Scale Model Railroad is more prevalent. Their N Scale is at 1:150 though like all others, their track is still on the 9mm standard. There's even an existing N Scale Model Railroad on public display, the Shinkansen (Bullet Train).
