N Scale Model Trains and scenery
The N scale model trains came into existence in 1962 when the Arnold Company of Nuremberg commercially launched the N gauge trains. The N gauge is a very popular scale, only being beaten by the HO gauge. N gauge stands for 9mm which is the distance between the rails. The N gauge is so popular because of its size, apartment dwellers and people with limited space can model a nice layout in a small area. The detail in the locomotive and the rolling stock is amazing to be so small. Another important factor is that you can find almost any type of house, building, barn, cars, trucks, and n scale people for your layout. The majority of N scale trains are modeled on a scale 1:160 although you can find other scales, but they all will run on N gauge track. MOROP in Europe and NMRA in the USA are in charge of setting the standards for both the manufacture and the modeler.
