[quote user="Colorado Ray"]Not sure you can believe everything on Wikipedia. I wouldn't say that N scale is from 1:148 to 1:160. For example they list the Lonestar OOO as being 1:160. I'd trust the February 1964 MR that says Lonestar was 1:52.[/quote] Regular N scale in continental Europe and the US/canada is 1/160 scale. British N scale is 1/144 scale and Japanese N scale is 1/150 scale. Early N scale models from Arnold and Minitrix were actually quite crude, mostly oversized and bad runners. That changed dramatically, when Fleischmann entered into the N scale market. While Minitrix quickly adopted finer standards, Arnold lagged behind, which finally led to Arnold going belly-up. Arnold is now a brand of the British Hornby Group.
