[edit] Photographs
We could use some better pictures here, I put up ones I had but I'm not sure they are really good enough quality for this article. Fourdee 06:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
The quality of the photographs themselves is adequate. The quality of the subject that were photgraphed, leaves something to be desired. The Lifelike GP38-2 is a toy by contemporary standards. And a tree in one of the pictures is blue. In my opinion, THE N scale section on wikipedia ought to reflect the best of the N scale hobby, not its middle-ground mediocrity. Suggestion: Use the photo's as a modelling tool, improve the subjects and submit updated photographs. User:freddie10538:Freddie 13:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed the comment on my Life Like GP38-2, it is not up to my modeling standards but as a photographer I was experimenting with my focus on small objects. I will replace this photo with a better model soon. I just hope my photo of CSX 2112 is up to standard, it is a small example of my modeling ability. Brakeman Billy 16:13, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Suggested Improvements
This page appears to be written pretty much from the UK perspective and doesn't have much discussion of the various manufacters and nothing on recent technological advances such as command control systems. I will attempt to outline and start writing some of those sections. Carlvon 05:46, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I have removed a link to a retailer (Newhall station) of model train goods from the links section. this retailer is not particularly prominent, and even if it was, there's no particular reason to list such a retailer in the links section. such an inclusion should be considered spam, i think.
[edit] Are N-scale standards more universal.
Different makes of HO-scale models are often incompatible regarding couplings and wheel profiles. Are different makes of N-scale models more consistant?
In a word "Yes"
