N Gauge Trains and Why You Would Want One
by Tim Bennett
N Gauge Trains - Abundance in quality
N gauge trains are one of the most popular model trains around and there are literally thousands of suppliers with both rolling stock and accessories.
And it is not without good reason that they are so popular.
For example, many modelers have limited space and the N gauge models are constructed with such precision that you can see every bit of detail and they are not too small for the average modeler.
N gauge runs virtually every time on 9 millimeter tracks - almost without exception.
What does change though is the scale which can range from 1:148 to 1:160 depending on which country you buy from.
The great thing about N gauge is that you can really find them just about anywhere both offline and online and the quality of scenery and accessories is without doubt second to none.
N gauge trains are perfect for small spaces and allow the modeler to run longer trains and because they are lighter than HO models the powers supplies generally have less problems running the trains around a bigger circuit.
Being smaller also means that they are easier to transport so if you are thinking of taking your model to museums or exhibits then it could be a great choice for you.
Companies such as Bachman and Lionel stock N Gauge trains and have a huge supply and also offer many great starter packs that can later be developed into bigger models.
Scenery is also in abundance. Cars, people, trees, plants, buildings, signals, signs and other types of accessories and scenery are all around.
N gauge trains started to become available in the late 1920's but due to the supremacy of other models they were not really that popular until the 60's.
With their popularity came standardization and they were actually one of the earliest scales to have standards. voltage, track, size became regulated, but even with all this regulation 1:150 or 160 became popular in Japan, whilst 1:152 became more popular in England.
The popularity grew and they became second only to the HO scale. Japan soon adopted N Gauge as they have space problems and tend to have smaller houses, whilst in America and Australia they tend to have bigger houses and space is less of an issue, they have taken longer to catch on.
Whilst small, they are not the smallest gauge in the world, but for an all around train with quality, availability and size, you can't go very wrong with N Gauge Trains.
