Here is some of my N scale:

Wow, several new N-scale members came out of hiding for this topic! [#welcome]

An outstanding collection of pics!

One more shot that I just did today:

That’s called “networking”, Bruce![:D]

A few more N scale pics:

Great pics, everyone. I model in N but don’t have the capability of posting anything so I will just admire everyone else’s work.

Couple of more N Scale items I’ve done.

eNjoy!! [:D]

I don’t celebrate the end of steam on railroads, but I know what you mean. It is hard to believe that I took my last pictures of steam in the late fifties, but looking back, a lot has happened since those days. At the time, I stopped watching trains for almost ten years or so until I heard that a special train was running from New York to Salt Lake City Utah to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the Golden Spike. The Golden Spike Train behind the NKP 759 really got me interested in railroads again.

Yes, it is hard to believe they are all gone.

This is the 759 at Moberly Mo in 1969 on its way to Kansas City that day. Not exactly N scale, but one to one.

A few more, just for the heck of it… . . .

Let’s not forget that N Scale also made modular railroading popular. Train shows would be very different without it…

Right On! Lord Zox! N trak has been takin’ it to the streets for almost four decades! Now train shows also have those “Johnny Come Lately” HO and O scale modules, I’ve even seen G and S gauge represent. Follow the leader!

And how about this little world traveler…

Yup, N Scale is truly the “universal language!”… Keep those pictures coming… Represent!

Lee

Thanks Dave for those great pictures. Your PRR N scale certainly has great scenes.

Actually, for a time I think N-scale almost surpassed HO in terms of detail. Well perhaps the level of detail was the same, but in N-scale the moulding had to be much finer. Now, of course, we are blessed with much higher quality HO products too as manufacturersin that scale also adopted the newer production techniques. Now if only we could eliminate the sloppy errors that still occur in painting layouts and such.

Enough powlabbering… More Pictures!

Not only can you buy more now in N scale… there’s some pretty good modeling to be done as well! More! MORE!

Lee

Are you sure this is N scale?

Unbelievable - I am deeply impressed!

I’ve been a model railroader for nearly 30 years, but an N scaler for the past three. Switching to N scale has finally made me truly happy in this hobby.

Hi Lee,

I beleive some pics I didn’t have published yet of my Maclau River.

Some scratchbuild details in Nscale…(working ladder for my roundhouse)

Happy next coming 50 years Nscale.
