The model depicts the London Midland Scottish Railway in
the period prior to the formation of British Railways in
1948, when the railways were nationalised. The model does
not represent any particular location.
N Gauge modelling is to a scale of 1:148 or 2mm
representing a foot; so a typical two storey house is only
about 2” (50mm) from ground to roof, and 100 yds can be
modelled in just 3ft (100m in 700mm).
This does require quite delicate and accurate modelling
techniques, but the big advantage of this scale is that in the
same space you can model an area four times the size that
is possible in the more common OO Gauge, which is 4mm
to the foot.
It thus allows you to model a train running through the
landscape, much more easily than with the larger scale;
for example two sides of a 14ft by 6ft room, with a double
track, represents over a mile of travel.
