    Hard to believe that's N scale. I remember back in the day when N scale seemed pretty clunky and toy like but you remind me that today it rivals HO scale in detail. Commendable work!

    N scale is light years advanced from it's origins. The changes I have witnessed in the past 40+ years are amazing. When talented hands are added to the mix, wow!

    Jess they did improved Locos and cars in N-Scale.

    It’s a big difference between 1975 and now.
    I am glad to stay on N-Scale!

    It’s a great Scale to model by yore selves.

    HO and bigger scales, you need to be a millionaire or a member of a model railroad club.

    Very well done. I always like seeing the so-called "helicopter" type view. Seeing a layout from overhead is very helpful to those of us far away.

    I think that square tool is quite interesting. I wish my father still had all of his tools. He probably had one which I could "borrow" for a while.
