About N Scale Trains
One of the more popular sizes in model trains, N Scale trains range from 1:148 to 1:160, depending on the maker, and run on a 9mm track.
The first N Scale trains were produced in Germany in 1962 but would not make their debut in America until 1967 when Aurora introduced their line of “Postage Stamp Trains.” The designation “N” is short for “nine,” referring to the 9mm gauge between the rails of the N Scale track.
It is the second most popular model railroading size behind the larger HO scale, which is the 1:87 scale. N Scale started as a novelty scale, but it has risen into a viable scale unto itself over the years. While N Scale is relatively small at just about half the size of HO Scale, it is not the smallest commercially available scale, as Z Scale is smaller yet at 1:220, and T Scale is 1:450 or 1:480.
It can be challenging to devote a large area of living space to a model railroad. With N Scale, you can have an extensive railroad in a tiny space. This scale is perfect for small spaces and is affordable for enthusiasts looking to maximize their enjoyment. N Scale train sets are fantastic starting models because of their size, quality, and low cost. While many modelers select N Scale because they are limited in space, others use N Scale to build complex or more visually expansive models. Also, N Scale allows you to run prototypical length trains of 100 cars or more. You can create layouts where the scenery dominates the railroad, just like in real life.
