O and N (NW Mailing List)

[NW Mailing List]

I’ve found that N scale is a real nightmare and the drawings have to be modified substantially to be able to produce a model when 3D printing. What works for O and HO doesn’t work for N, and what works for N would be outrageously out of scale for HO. To do the No trespass sign, I basically had to double the thickness and extrude the letters out last the sign just to be able to make it legible in N scale, where in O scale you can read the tiny casting numbers. The railroad crossing sign is drawn in O, scaled to HO. And is paper thin for N scale to the point it wasn’t usable and again had to be a separate model  [image0.jpeg]


I’d be happy to do a combination station.
