I am new to model railroading and a new member of the board.

Just wanted to say hello.

I got a N scale train set for Christmas and was looking for any advice at all.

Hi,
I need a little bit more info to help you. Maybe you could tell me things like:
How much space do you have to run it?
Would you like to continue to run it?
(if you are interested in model railroading I would sujjest continueing to run it).

Happy holidays!

I have less than 20" X 40" to work with.

Would you like to continue to run it? yes

N scale can be satisfactorily ran in your space as a 9 inch radious curve while a bit on the small side is broad eneugh for most N scale four axal locos with 40 and 50 foot cars. My brother models in N scale and his layout is 2 foot by 4 foot. Double oval of track with cross overs on each stragiht away wtih a small three track yard on one side. With more room for indsutries and such to allow for an interesting operation.

Thank you for the replies.

My cat messed up my derailled my loco.

It still runs, but the headlights went out.

Is it posible to take it apart whithout killing it? I can see part of the problem. It is just soo small and my hands shake.

Thank you,

420
