A different (N) scale

I have tinkered in N scale off and on for the last 36 years and still find it enjoyable.  It is amazing what kind of fun you can have in such a small space. 

Nice work and enjoy!

I have to say I've spent most of my life in O scale, and I'm way too invested in everything with spare stuff from switch machines to telephone poles to wire, people,detail parts, houses, factory buildings to track just about everything to switch scales. I have to say on a very large layout N would be very difficult to work with all the time. If I could start all over again with the knowledge I have now I would probably go with H O. But now that I'm old and as  retired as I'm ever going to be, most of my time is spent doing modular scenes which is enjoyable for either N or O. I also have an extensive amount of plastruct and all the tools that go with it, so that's a enjoyable and time consuming aspect of it also, scratch building things

Once I finish my O subway modules I might go back to N, but in modular form. I modeled in N for about 45 years, and it's all neatly packed away.

Having just turned 14 and recovering from a broken neck. I built an 18"x20"  Trolley line.   I used a Trix  F7 for the power unit , and an AHM  Heavy weight passenger car cut down to fit it.  For the trolley pole I used a TT scale pole, cut down for length was still too big but functional. laid my track, did my power poles and strung some very. very thing copper wire, powered it up and it worked.  A year after that we sold the HO and my N and went into collecting  O 3rail
