N Scale Pushers

I'm a regular operator of Scott's spectacular NS layout and can report that it runs as fine as it looks. I only wish he would figure out how to edit his great sound tracks into the operating sessions!

Modeling Railroads

The N-Scale Pusher series has opened my eyes to the great modeling possible in N-scale.  It also helps me realize that layouts like this are truly model railroading.  Scott Teague's and other mega-layouts are modeling railroads.  Most of us are modeling trains.  The difference is several hundred square feet. 

These videos have made me wish I could start over in N-scale.   My image of N-scale is stuck in the sixties when it was truly clunky.    It is now becoming the standard for modeling railroads  - smooth running, a great variety of rolling stock, and reliable track.

Thanks to all who made this presentation available.

"N" Scale, I never thought it would fly !!

I can remember the first time I saw "N" gauge and thought it was just too small to really ever look like any more than a toy. Well anybody got Catchup so I can eat my words. That was a fine display of "N" Gauge at its best !! I liked all of the Pushers Videos and nice touch with the Black & White film at the end. you made a believer of me.

great video

That's some great N scale train video! I felt like I was watching real train footage on most of those shots. I'll be back to check out more.

 I must say, I have never

 I must say, I have never seen a model coal train that long. I now understand why guys who model the coal industry find it so appealing. Those enormous trains are indeed awesome! And the train sounds and music are amazing too. I applaud the movie crew.

Just a thought: wouldn't it be great to have sound decoders in EVERY piece of rolling stock too? Ohhh, the music we could create then!
