Home > Trains-N Scale

Depending upon the manufacturer, N scale ranges from 1:148 to 1:160. In all cases, the gauge (the distance between the rails) is 9 mm. The term N gauge refers to the track dimensions, and is not a scale. Nevertheless, the terms N scale and N gauge are often used interchangeably. An advantage of N scale is that it allows hobbyists to build layouts that take up less space than HO scale, or put longer track runs into the same amount of space, because the models are smaller (by nearly a half) than they are in HO scale (1:87). The name comes from an abbreviation for Nine millimeters.

On occasion, Trainz gets in rare and valuable N-Scale items from Atlas, Kato, Con-Cor, Micro-Scale, and more! To browse our N-Scale Postwar items, please click a category link below.
