Battle of the Scales!

[apache_fan]

I model in N Scale, and just love it, and don’t know any down sides to it. Everything is so much imporved over 20 years ago that it’s too much fun to worry about down sides. I also enjoy all scales even though I don’t model them. Any model railroad done well is a joy to see, and scale means nothing, it’s just personal preference, or room. Jus tlove em all

No battle for me - just a peaceful co-existence!

I started out with a Marklin HO starter set some 48 years ago and have since then meandered into N scale, Z scale and HOe (European narrow gauge) and HOn3. Not to forget a short detour into G scale live steam!

Right now I am back into N scale - for reasons of space and also cost. I am surprised to see how much detail is possible in that small a scale - in my opinion, it has long surpassed the level of detail of HO equipment of the 1980´s and even maybe 1990`s.

Just take a look at this beauty:

It is certainly matching BLI´s Blueline Mike, if not exceeding it.

Who made that engine? I like it! [:)]

Becky,

it is a Kato D51 498 of the Japanese National Railway, the new release with a lot more detail than the older model.

You can get it here.
