Getting started in N scale

Don’t think you have room for a big model railroad? Give N scale a try. This series of articles will give you a good start for modeling in N scale (1:160 proportion). The packet includes a three-part, start-to-finish layout construction project for the 6 x 7-foot N scale Appalachian Central, built by Model Railroader magazine columnist Lionel Strang. It also includes a track buyer’s guide and information about N scale modular railroading. (35 pages, 3.2 MB)
