New to N Gauge

[dannyboy]

If you only lay, (say 1/8"), cork under the track, everything else which is placed directly onto the baseboard, will be 1/8th of an inch lower and in n gauge, 1/8" equates to approximately 1' 6" !

Cover the whole lot and then cut back later if needed and you won´t get any buildings of platforms too low.

Thanks in advance.

I did a spreadsheet a while back which converts n gauge measurements to 'real life' - search for

N Scale (1:148) Conversion Sheet

Sorry, not sure how to show it as a direct link.  . (Something I will have to look up!). David.

I believe the Gaugemaster printed roads are 40mm wide.
That's the measurement I used for mine and they look more like narrower country roads but, then again, that's what I was after. Certainly larger vehicles (buses & lorries) have room to pass, though.
