Very quickly this morning I calculated what scale one would have to model in order to use N scale track to represent 36" inch prototype. I calculate like that would scale out to about 1/100 scale. There are 1/100 scale figures, and perhaps some of the smaller n-scale steamers may be a bit oversize and convertible. Have you ever heard of anyone using n scale mechanisms and track and 1/100 scale to model 36" gauge?
It would be better to do 3mm/ft then it comes out right. There is a society in Britain:
