    Local Train Track Miniature Model in N

    Is Xtrkcad that plastic track? I think its that stuff where you can lay down 1:1 scale replicas of model track to see what scales etc to use. I have decided though that N is the one for me because its alot cheaper and it is more compatible with electronics and it has the right locomotives for...

    I wonder how much of a big layout I could fit in 10x4ft in Z?

    Sorry about the low quality plan. It was merely to give you an idea. It would be a branch line, I decided that N would be a better scale for me as it is cheaper and it has the right locomotives for me. http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?p=147470#post147470 Thats a link to a thread I...

    Local Train Track Miniature Model in N

    I will need to find out what rolling stock it uses. I think it is open topped things like these: 5 Plank Wagon 'Joshua Gray'. Or something similar. I just remebered that there is a series of other sidlings I left out.

    Local Train Track Miniature Model in N

    Hi again! I am hoping to build an N scale model of my local steam track. It consists of a small double rail system with a train station and an industrial yard along with a selection of other sidlings. The basic plan can be viewed here: http://www.the-gauge.com/showthread.php?t=14599...

    Hi, layout plan: NOTE: This is no-where near to scale. On the real thing, the distances between the station, fiddle yard and both end points are miles away and totally different proportions. And the white thing is a crossing point for the road. The light green stuff are trees/shrubs etc.

    I wonder how much of a big layout I could fit in 10x4ft in Z?

    Hi again! Luckily I am one of those people blessed with a local train station. I was thinking that it would be really cool to build a Z scale version of it! I think it is private owned now. One thing is for certain, it is now used for little trips between two small towns about 4...

    I wonder how much of a big layout I could fit in 10x4ft in Z?

    Thanks, I thought 0.5mm to a ft was a bit small! Zman vbmenu_register("postmenu_147316", true); must have meant 1/4 smaller than N (25% smaller not 25% of size). pray59 vbmenu_register("postmenu_147342", true); that is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that sought of stuff. American an...

    Actually, I think Class 39 Db Tender Loco represents better value for money at only £15 more!

    Thanks. From previous experience with RC Cars, I realise that the most crucial time in the whole hobby (financially wise) is the first two weeks were you place your first order. My mind is currently realing over the options of either an American Express line or a German complex line with those...

    I wonder how much of a big layout I could fit in 10x4ft in Z?

    Hi! I was wondering (oh dear, not again... :rolleyes:), I could fit a fairly huge layout in Z. I have a 10x4' space and I might make something of it... I have been considering N but have now started thinking about Z after seeing pics of these tiny things. Look kinda fun. If I do use Z, is...

    Hi everyone! My first (and hopefully not last) post here. I'm new to Railway Modelling but no stranger to static modelling which I have been doing for 10 years (80% of my life! :p ). Due to space regulations, I have chosen N gauge as my chosen scale. The area I have is in my bedroom. It is...
