You know you're an N-scaler when...

You know you are an over 40 N Scaler when you avoid changing couplers by having two fleets of locos. Some with Rapido and some with the other type (works for me).

You know you are an over 40 N Scaler when the 3 foot rule is only 1 foot.

 

Ya!! But i was'nt going to admit to-- two fleets!!mg:

Or aprox, 160 scale feet, at which point you have to remove yer opti-visor to find what you lost,, Hopefully!

All flying parts are Imeadiately followed by the Exclamation!--Jesus! Where'd that ________ go??

 

YKYANS when almost all your rolling stock comes in clear styrene boxes, not paper boxes.

YKNYANS when you don't have to gauge the wheels of 90% of your rolling stock before putting it into service.

YKNYANS when you can fill up the loco roster of a Digitrax Zephyr with matched number AB units, and you have enough power to run them all. Hah! Try that in HO or O!

YKNYANS when you look wistfully at all the cool vehicles available to the other scales.

 

you know you're a 40+ n scaler when :


you take off your optivisor and suddenly your n-scale locos look like details parts on your g-scale locos .....

 

You know you're an over 50 Nscaler when even optivisors don't help and you have to get your 2 year old granddaughter to find the little spring that just flew off of the coupler and hit the carpet. (Which she spots immediately.)

You have to explain to the grandkids that "no, grampa can't put a loop in the train like at Six Flags".

When you and the grandkids in the car with you come to a railroad crossing and all of you pray for a train.

 

You like the Norfolk and Southern for one reason: NS

Your online handle is:
Nscale...

 

hey, I resemble that remark!!!

 

Your train stuff file and your favorites list are longer than your train :teeth:

 

You know youre in N-Scale when you said "Holy $&%+" and didnt realize there was an N scale loco on top.

 

There is? Where? Nice detailing job. Never saw a bump like that on those locos.

 

The N scale loco would be G scale to a G-scaled person.

Is it just me or does the G scale loco look more "compressed" in length? It seems like if both locos were the same scale, the N scale one would be longer.

 

That always baffles me... mg:

 

Didn't you hear that great things come in small packages?

:teeth: :teeth: :teeth: :teeth:
​

 

and a single drill bit costs 20 bits

 

:teeth: You keep looking at this thread......

 

And that's the reason why I am an N scaler now

 

You know you are an N Scaler when you can put $1000.00 worth of plastic locos in a shoe box.

You know you are an N scaler when:

Your co-worker shows you a lighter in the shape of a naked woman and when he flicks it her nipples and groin flash red and you think: "Neat! Three little red LEDs and a flasher circuit for $1,50!"

 

Did you say 3 led flashers for $1.50 ??

Mike

 

A step above?

Only $1,000... man... either you have small feet or I must have big feet.
