About the town in N gauge
One of the greatest benefits of modelling in N gauge is the amount of scenery you can fit onto your baseboard. Modelling in N gauge also means you have more choice when deciding what type and size of buildings you wish to feature in your towns and villages. But if you thought the gift of space was ironic because the range of N gauge buildings is limited, then think again because there are plenty of inspiring models to choose from. Whether you are building in plastic or card you will find interesting models you can use to create convincing dioramas. If modelling in plastic you can discover buildings such as Gaugemaster Kestrel Designs' fire station, industrial unit, converted warehouse/townhouse and larger complexes such as a full brewery. Just don't forget the glue to build the kits!
If you are modelling in card, then you have even more choice, Metcalfe caters particularly well for the N gauge modeller with kits portraying industrial units, fire and petrol stations, pubs and shops to name but a few. It's fair to say that N gauge is no longer a niche choice for modellers.
We keep on adding modelling tips to our website. Here are the latest ones:
- What is a scale model?

Send us an email or give us a call to check availability or to reserve anything, whatever scale you model in. As usual, if we do not have in stock what you are looking for, we will order it for you and you will get it fast (usually within a week if the manufacturer has it in stock). We place weekly orders with most suppliers.
