For British "N", approximating to a scale of something like 1:148, which is the scale for British stuff that runs on 9mm gauge track. Continentals use 1:160, though other regions use slightly different scales for 9mm gauge stuff. British "N" is perilously close to TT:120! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted April 13 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 13 There was that strange thing, particularly in the 1980's was that stamp/coin/banknote collecting was seen as a sure fire way to make money, an investment for the future and there are still a few misguided fools who still think that a stamp collection et al is a golden ticket to fame and fortune.... ...it isn't. Much like all those diecast model buses and Lledo promotional vans of some years ago, pretty much all are them are now virtually worthless. I have my father's sixty year stamp collection to deal with at some point, in reality I will be lucky if I get enough to cover the courier charges to get it to a dealer. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
