I ran into a similar problem when I put a plow in my corn field. I admit that the solution was a fun process.

Now Mr. Seamonster, why did you have to bring that up ?!... You're just trying to create more work for me to do when it's a well known fact I despise yard work - even if it is an N scale lawn... ([;)])

Thanks for your leads and suggestions guys. And yes, I'm afraid N scale grass has to be mowed. You'd be amazed at how tall it can get in a couple of weeks if you don't keep after it... (ha ha)

Nu-Comp makes one, not sure but you may also want to check into Plastruct I seem to remember they made on also. The Nu-Comp is a little odd though, it looks like it is supposed to hang on the wall. Also Kirbi maybe made a riding mower or maybe it was Noch.

You mean N-Scale grass needs to be mowed TOO????

I thought it was bad enough to find time to mow my 12 inch to the foot scale grass.

Seriously, that would make a good miniscene, and I'm assuming you've checked the Walther's catalog already. Might be better to have the man working on the mower rather than have him frozen in mid stride on you layout. Would look more realistic.

N scale lawn mower question...
Posted by Tracklayer on Wednesday, October 5, 2005 1:54 AM
Is there anyone out there that sales N scale lawn mowers ?... It doesn't matter whether it's a push mower or a riding mower. I've got a nice little house with a yard that needs something, and I think it would look really cool to have a guy mowing the yard. I guess I could always make one from scratch if I had to, but something that small is kind of hard on the old eye balls.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
