Hopefully coming to the UK....

This exciting collection brings the opportunity to construct your very own miniature Alpine Railway in N gauge.

https://www.youtube.com/...edded&v=IBQ6geZFcx0

The advantage with the N gauge scale, is that it is possible to build a comprehensive layout in a much smaller space in comparison with other model railway scales such as 00 gauge. For those with limited room to spare for a layout, and one that can be moved from room to room without disassembly, N gauge is an ideal scale to choose. Often N gauge fans place their layout beneath a glass topped coffee table for a unique talking point!

N gauge - 1/160 scale.

Layout dimensions: 148cm long x 80cm wide.

95 issues/parts sets.

11m total track length.

This looks quite nice, unfortunately I don't think I'd have space for that. Maybe in a year as this is when we plan to find some bigger space...

I can see people having a lot of fun putting this together and learning many new modelling skills too with the variety of work that will be needed to complete this..... And think of the fun running the loco's when it's all done.... Hope it does finally make an appearance....

I`ve been taking some time looking into "n"gauge scenic sets and this has to be the tops.

Very small (less than 1/3rd size of this) and very flat in landscape are being sold on E??? for £150 plus and look totally NAF.

This is the complete set-up, I love it.

I do love the detail they manage to get in these smaller railway sets, will be interesting to see one being built.

You know how it goes. "I don't have space for anything like that" - "yeah, but it is so cool, you'll figure something out"
Anyway, if it is released in UK maybe I'll move to some bigger apartment by then. As it is exceptionally cool thing. And when I was a child I always wanted to have a train set, not even a layout but just a set of tracks and a train to run on it, but my parents couldn't ever afford any such thing. So... Let's call it maybe, shall we? :D
