Narrow Gauge Model Railroading
Narrow gauge models are indicated by characters following the scale letter. In North America the small letter "n" indicates narrow gauge. The "n" is followed by a real life gauge value. n3 stands for 3 foot gauge. n30 or n2.5 stands for 30 inch or 2.5 foot gauge. Narrow gauge models typically use track made for standard gauge in scales one or two sizes smaller than their own.
Narrow Gauges
In the early years of real-life railroading there were many "narrow gauge" railroads that used track spaced at 3 feet (1 yard). True-to-scale narrow gauge modeling is a specialized area of model railroading.
