Industries -A Open Discussion.

[Brakie]

I am still determined to model this, N-scale or not!

.......and I'll be waiting.......to count the spokes in the wheels of that tractor!!!


My best guess is that the interior track ( for the stone carts ) is about two foot gauge. The interior of that stone cutting facility has about the amount of detail as a whole layout!!! I really do think that would be an extremely interesting build to follow. I hope you decide to go ahead with that, and post regular progress shots.
That would be one of those buildings that would have to have a removable roof, so the incredible interior could be viewed......may the "modeling gods", and fortune, favor you!
Marble.........note to self, On30? (no, not the facility, the industry)....some custom rolling stock.

Ah,but,there is a way that separates N Scalers from N Scale modelers.. :o

As any season modeler will till you the eye can be fooled in seeing things that isn't what they appear.I call it the "Hollywood effect".

I would use Plastruct solid square shape or flat strips painted white for marble for the interior.The work benches can be made from Plastructs. C channel.

The track in the floor can be scribe.The lights can be made with Plastruct.

You would scratch build the factory using the same techniques use in HO.

See not so hard after all.

N Scale is a modeling scale just like HO and its not that hard...
