Wow Sir a lovely layout. I agree with you N Gauge is superb. I had N Gauge for 35 years then 0Gauge for 10 years . 00 Gauge for several years now at 67 I have N Gauge. I have built most of the Metcalfe Kits . I have four trains running around two different levels. 8 feet by 3 Feet. So far it's fine my fingers can still work properly. I always use Peco track hardly ever had a derailment. Best wishes Richard Canterbury kent.

Just discovered your channel. I am a long standing N gauge modeller. It's a great gauge and with advances in technology the models are marvels of engineering and electronics. Everyone has their own reasons and derives their own enjoyment from the hobby. Like any hobby you make it and take from it what you will. The only rules are your rules, no one else's. There are fantastic examples in N gauge on KZfaq from dioramas and shelf layouts to room and shed fillers! They all have a place in our hobby. Well done!

I'm Modeling in 'N' Scale too. and you can put so much more in 'N' Scale in a small space which is not possible in OO of HO.

I love N scale you can fit a lot more into a small space!!

Yes a layout that can be kept when not in use is very important. Cause of the obvious compulsions that life throws...cheers. Happy rail modeling🍻

You've done a great job on the 'beach scene' in the corner. Looks fantastic ! I look forward to you slowly but surely completing the rest of the layout. Happy New Year and all the best to you n yours.

N scale/gauge is great for fitting a lot into a small space. My layout is 4 foot x 2.5 foot. In that space I have 2 loops with 2.5 sidings. Perfect. The track cleaning when I don't run it often enough can be a pain, but it's a great space saver. Tri-ang TT is another great space saver if you're prepared to work with steel track. Happy Modelling.

The thing I love about N gauge is that you can run full length trains in a relatively small space. I have a 2 metre by 950mm Japanese layout that allows me to run 8 car bullet trains, which are the correct number of cars for the area I am modelling. I also have a yard within the double track loop that lets me store 8 correct length ordinary trains ready for use when I want them. The other good thing about modelling Japanese n gauge trains is the huge amount of rolling stock available! We think of Britain being train mad but we pale into insignificance compared to Japan! One obvious example is that since the bullet trains started running in 1964 they have produced 18 different bullet train designs! We've had how many? 5 or 6?

Agree

N gauge is awesome :) A word of caution on the availability though: you might just be coincidentally coming into this whilst there's some decent modern-day GWR stuff around. I've been keeping an eye on things closely for the last 5-or-so years, and I think it can be many years between runs of models or liveries, and it can be hard to get them second-hand. My advice is that if you can reasonably afford something now, then get it, and sell it if you hit hard times later. Sometimes this approach can be difficult to get spouse agreement on, though ;) Your layout is looking nice so far, by the way - I like the scenery you're building and the colours in it

I am switching from oo gauge to n gauge same reason i can get more in ive got mine in the loft

70 hour work weeks 💀💀 I couldn't
