N Scale Model Train Sets Prove Popular

N scale train sets are growing in popularity with model train enthusiasts. N scale model train sets have the advantage of taking up less space than the HO scale model train sets. N scale model trains are in fact 54.5 percent the size of equivalent HO scale model trains. This means that you can build an N scale model train set layout in an area about 30% of that area needed to build a similar model train layout in HO scale.

If space is an issue then an N scale model train set could be the answer. N Scale model train sets allow for more complex and realistic model train layouts in limited space. Curves can be made much more gradual with N scale model train sets. The smaller size of N scale greatly reduces the need to utilize unrealistically sharp curves to reverse the direction of the train on a layout.
