Is there anyon interested in N scale modeling. I am a beginner both with this scale and on this list. I am in the San Francisco bay area. Rene Bach bach@score -------

Hi,
I just recieved a N scale set in december.
I was in HO when I was younger, but as a rank amature, and now
I am over whelmed.
I am planning a layout bassed upon the reading in penn.
(after I decied to do this I discovered that some old track of theres
runs within walking distance of where I live in NJ).

So while I'm not a beginner, I am not very experienced. What modeling I do is in N scale I would also appreciate correspondence with anyone else interested. Peter Williams tektronix!reed!peterw

I've done a smidgeon of N scale modeling myself, a little surprising considering I have been a ardent HO scaler ever since I was into trains. I own a small collection of equipment that includes: 1) a Burlington Northern C636 made by con-cor 2) six BN covered hoppers by Atlas 3) several modern 'Railbox' style 50-ft. outside braced boxcars 4) two cabeese 5) and a 10-car French TGV train made by Kato of Japan. After exploring N-scale for about 3 months, I returned to HO due to the fact that most N-scale diesels have awfully unrealistic handrails and lousy low-speed performance. Most of my HO Athearn and Atlas equipment (not surprisingly) looks and runs *much* better by comparison.. :-) I may decide to reinvest in N scale when there are more N locomotives like the N scale Kato RS-3 imported by Atlas, or if someone turns out one of those new General Electric DASH 8 locomotives in N ( or ANY scale for that matter!! :-) Harry Wong ucbvax! ucbcory.arpa
