Is there any products for N narrow gauge?

[Le Night ferry]

There's lots of narrow gauge models like OO9 or TT9.
I know Nn3 gauge represent 3-feet gauge.
Is there more narrower gauge to represent like 2ft 3inch gauge(like 1/148 Tallylyn Railway)?
I always wonder why no 4.5mm half n gauge track.

There's a couple of locomotive body kits from Peco:

Peco kits are for Z gauge mechanisms on Z gauge track.

There are a few Nn3 parts from N-Brass https://www.nbrasslocos.co.uk/index.html

The main issue for narrower gauges is availability of suitable track and donor chassis. I have seen one attempt using T-scale (3mm gauge) track to represent 15"/18" gauge prototypes but with the R-T-R T-gauge rolling stock all being modern units (mostly Japanese), it used a motorised coach to push along a dummy loco.

There are some static narrow gauge models available that would be about 2 foot gauge or slightly wider.

Busch and DM Toys offered some.  I have a few bits n pieces for my planned preserved industrial railway.

This site sells Nn3 gauge parts and chassis.
For now, there's no 4.5mm wide gauge...

There are a few commercial products for Nm running on Z gauge and representing things such as the Swiss metre gauge railways.  Some people convert the Kato Glacier Express models to Z gauge.

There are brass etches and other parts available for Ne (4.5mm gauge) and Nf (3mm gauge) to represent Feldbahn etc. but I don't believe there are any commercial working locos.

They even shave diecast chassis to make 6.5mm!

It's odd that there's 3mm gauge, but no 4.5mm gauge(Bandai's zz gauge is just toy like Plarail)

A german producer of interesting Nm and Nn3 stuff is
https://www.lemiso.de/en/N-gauge--1-160-/schmalspur-nm/
Interesting is their stuff for 3-rail track. Usefull if you want to build a station with both normal and narrow track. Eg. Where a narrow gauge branchline parts from a standard gauge man line (or intersects with).

Nice: they do not just make one series of an item, but do additional runs if their is need for...

The old PECO kits are now available from N-Drive Productions, please contact me for more details

A good introduction to Nn3 is to start with an American nn3 boxcab by T R Knapp, they are designed to go onto the Rokuhan chassis that cost about £10 from Japan. You can order these 3d prints from this link: https://3dptrain.com/products/box-cab-diesel-n-scale

You may need a little plasticard to get the body on level.

Here are two that I am currently working on, one motorised and one unmotorised.



Also a link to one of the shops in Japan that sell the chassis: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10495646
