    Short question about modern vehicles in N scale?

    Is there a manufacturer for modern RVs? The very ones that drive the TransCanada in their thousands. In N Scale there is almost only old ugly stuff.

    The only ones I have found are 3D models you would need to have printed. I am personally looking for a late 80's early 90's bounder Class A. I have a desert scene that needs it.

    The 3D printed ones aren't to bad...with a little work.

    Did you print these yourself?

    No...I bought them pre-printed.

    Like i said...a little work on them and they are acceptable. They have a black insert for the glass. I didnt like that for the windshield so i cut my own out of clear plastic. I also didnt like the door at the front. I did some minor reconstruction and put the door further back. I wanted mine to look more like THERR RV.

    I was thinking more of Ford or GMC models. The well-known modern classics. The fraction that are on top of each other at every viewpoint.

    So basically a Class C with a van nose? I think you can get those on Thingiverse... but there is always the GMC Class A which could be your very own UAV...

    Looking forward to seeing the N-scale model of your N scale model railroad, inside that N scale RV!

    For those doing the math at home, that'd be a 1:25,600 scale model railroad.

    Of course, a lift-off roof on the n-scale RV would show it nicely, as well as make it easier to install.

    Of course you'd need a 1:25.6k model of the RV inside the N-scale RV, with another model railroad inside it, and...
