Choosing a N Scale Model Train
When you choose a certain scale to work with and build your model train you
have to make some choices. The same goes to the N Scale Model Train.
There really good reasons why one want to choose this smaller scale. Let’s
examine the most important.
Chances are that a beginner in this hobby will came across the same basic
question time and time again: what scale should I use. However, looking
back, it’s quite possible that all the reasons for choosing a scale were already
there. When going for an N Scale Model Train is exactly the same: the main
reasons for choosing it are already present, you just have to take advantage
of them.
Nowadays you have a lot more choice as a result of the growing popularity of
the N Scale models. This is directly related to the expansion of the Model
Train hobby as a whole.
Unlike a couple decades ago, the hobby has attracted more people to it that
brought a lot of diversity. These newcomers have broadened the geographical
locations and expanded the income spectrum.
This is in sharp contrast with the old days where this hobby was more linked
to individuals that could have more space and had more income.
Today the hobby is widely spread, the materials are inexpensive and one can
build complex layouts in smaller spaces. It’s not uncommon to find core Model
Train hobbyists doing amazing things in apartments or smaller houses.
So, you can easily see that there are some solid reasons to choose an N
Scale Model Train.
Let’s focus on the main advantages of the N scale: cheaper materials, space
advantages, and the level of detail that you can achieve using this scale.
Inexpensive materials
One of the most direct advantages of this scale come from the fact that Model
Railroading as a whole has become more affordable. This alone explains the
explosion on the number of hobbyists.
The options available also have increased and this meant that the smaller
scales have become more popular, such as the N Model Trains but also the Z
and HO scale.

You won’t have any difficulty in finding sets and models at good prices. Even
better, the quality and diversity that you can get today in these models will
allow you to get many hours of fun and expand your layouts without major
costs.
Less space? Enter N scale trains.
N scale Train Models has 1:160 ratios to the real ones. This means that the
locomotives and cars are small in size and the tracks are narrow. Especially
the curves can take less space. Additionally, N scale Model Railroad then can
have complex layouts even in small spaces or even tables.
For those who live in apartments or smaller houses the smaller size have
many advantages. As time goes by, one can fully enjoy this hobby by being
able to build more elaborate layouts without being worried with space
constraints.
Also, smaller models give the choice to have more space to the layout,
allowing you to augment the detail and the depth of the layouts. This is
important as you get more into this hobby, you will turn your attention to the
scene, as it is an important part of the hobby.
How much detail do you whish?
The detail level that you can get from this scale is another strong reason to go
for it.
It’s truly remarkable the amount of detail that the N scale Model Trains have
these days.
I can speak from myself that it’s really amazing the level of detail that the
manufacturers can reach. For example, gorgeous locomotives, just like the
real ones, are easy to find.
The same goes for every other prop that you can get for Model Trains. If you
can tie it with some basic craftsman skills you’ll find it easy to develop great
scenes and enjoy it the most.
Now, in case you’re a father or a mother, let me tell you of another great
advantage of this scale. It’s seldom referred but I think it makes a great point
anyway.
