N scale is on the smaller side for trains. It's a great alternative to the larger and more common HO Scale if you are looking to save space. However, it's not as small as the Z scale - the smallest scale for model trains. The actual scale ranges from 1:148 to 1:160.
Since we resell trains from vendors and collectors from all across the country, our supply of trains is always changing. But, generally, you'll consistently find large brand names like Bachmann, Broadway, and Athearn.

For practical purposes, N scale and N gauge are often used interchangeably. But, technically, N scale describes the ratio in size from the model train to the actual train. N gauge, on the other hand, refers to the distance between the rails on the tracks that the model train runs on. So, an N scale rain runs on N gauge tracks.
