thx for showing N gauge as it seems to be on the back burner on most U Tube modellers videos but yours is so refreshing thankyou and you show so much more as I am getting into N gauge have done 00 gauge up the loft I want to make a small one downstairs so n scale fits the bill so I've subscribed and ticked all the other things looking forward to watching from the beginning until now all the best john from Rugby.
Hi John, Thanks for taking the time to comment it is appreciated. It's interesting to see your views on N gauge. Of all the gauges I cover on this channel N gauge is the most popular in terms of views. I'm starting to build a US audience and N scale is the what they want to see. Have a look at the three videos I published last September from the International N Gauge Show(TINGS). It was great to see a lot of layouts in one place that were all the same scale. I hope you get to build your N gauge layout, hopefully I have been able to inspire you. Andrew
Thank you for some excellent design and concept ideas. ( Many moons ago in the early 80s I was in a local club that had a modular exhibition layout that we could assemble and have running in about one hour ) The idea worked well.
Thanks for sharing! Hopefully we can spark the interest of an individual working alone in these trying times to become part of a bigger project. Stay safe.

after seeing this i have a question for you all. Is having a 18 m2 layout considered big in N gauge? since i hav nothing to compare what i want to do but club layouts which most of them actually seem a bit smaller than what i wanna do. so i was wondering if anyone has a layout in that size.
You don't indicate whether you plan to build an exhibition layout or a home layout. If you are planning an exhibition layout I would say it would be too big. Exhibition managers work to a fixed floor size and always want to maximise the space available. More layouts attract more visitors and hence generate more revenue. Check out the last layout in my latest upload (Part 7). The layout is James Street and is one of the largest layouts on the British exhibition scene at the moment. It comes with a crew of 10 which can also put off some exhibition managers as that is a lot of expenses to pay. Hope that helps. Stay safe. Andrew
@@andygebbie its mainly planned for myself since i have the space available in my basement. But i could bring it to exhibitions because im building it modular in case we have to move out. its still very eraly though and i only got 3 baseboards and no frame to put it on since money is kinda tight atm ^^.
Why do all these layouts stated to have a modern time period post the National Bus Compoany era feature Buses that ended general service many many years before that era? I know the preservation movement does running days but really!! Buses are a really good way of setting a time period, but just look wrong on so many here!
Hi, I'm afraid I can't answer this question because probably like the majority of railway modellers I'm not a fan of buses. I suspect that the problem may lie with the traders who supply motor vehicle models for model railways. There may well be less modern era models available. Just a guess.

Hi Edward, Thanks for the comment. Check out some of my other videos. Andrew
How is the truck at 11:10 controlled? It looks awesome to have vehicles animated on the train layout.
Hi Ervin, the road vehicles are based on the Faller system. ua-cam.com/video/NNF0nAIHBP0/v-deo.html
Or you can use the Ntrak Standards, used world wide. ntrak.org/documents/ModuleDatasheet2017.pdf
Bob thanks for the information. I'll copy the link into my video descriptions.
