Do you mix N Gauge (Scale) Countries?

Simply put.. yes absolutely.

I refer you the Quinntopia blog if you want to see an awesome example of this (European, the occasional british loco and Japanese are the norm).

I myself am happy with the four main ones (British, Japanese, European and North American)

To be fair I am trying to work out how to have different areas of the layouts I build to be more one country than the other, but as for clearances and the like I don't see it as a big issue unless you are really funny about differences in millimeters.

RuleOneShire is the only way to go.

I mix scales and countries on my exhibition layout Furtwangen Ost. There are items of three different nationalities and scales in this photo of one end of the layout.

The railway runs 1:160 German trains, and most of the trams above are Japanese 1:150, mainly by Modemo.   Many Punters think the trams are narrow gauge.

There are also two buildings on the layout that are Japanese 1:150, though nobody has spotted which two, and assorted P.D.Marsh and Lyddle End scenic details at 1:148 - but it is VERY difficult to spot what bit is what scale.  Overall the idea is to give an impression of a small town in the Western Black Forest.

I must be getting at least part of the impression right, as I keep getting invites........

All the very best

Mr M

Have you considering creating a fourth 'set' - Japanese, realising of course that they are 1:150 scale?

Just a thought you might care to consider.

oh I will be considering this too in good time.
I'm fairly sure though that this is not a good time...😱
