The N3xxx is available either as a 6' x 27" Double Track Oval or if you add the FREE 3' insert we provide, it would become 9' x 27" - an N Scale layout with 315 and 282 mm curves. If space is tight, you may need to restrict yourself to the 6' length -- but, if you do have 9' available, boy, what a difference that extra 3' makes in how long a train you can run.
Why do we call it the "N3xxx?" It is the only copy we have left of an older design we used to sell but now need to close out, and that is why the price is 40% off the old list price. If you want to see the layout that REPLACED it, go check our N3b listing. BUT, IF YOU ARE ON A TIGHT BUDGET, THE N3XXX CAN SAVE YOU MONEY! We don't pretend it's as good as the replacement (the big difference is that the new layout has HOLDING TRACKS that let you run two trains per track) BUT if you prefer to run just one train on a track, the N3xxx may be perfect for you.
Note that the video we show here is of a roughed-in layout -- just finished enough to show what a either the 6' or the 9' layout would look like. If you go with the 9' size, the N3xxx can run trains as long as 16 cars, and the layout works well either in DC or DCC.
This is one of our SHIPPABLE N SCALE LAYOUTS. By that we mean that we can take a layout as big as this one (9' x 27") and are able to send it out WITH FREE SHIPPING as we send it out in stacked sections. Click on THIS VIDEO and look at the pictures above and you will see how easy it will be for you to connect the sections together once you get them thanks to the use of Kato Unitrack Adjustable Track.
The layout, in full form, is 9' long by 27" wide with curves that are 315 mm and 282 mm and which has four sidings--but, if space is tight and you forego using the center section, then it is just 6' long.
As for hooking up the sections, be sure to look at the video we have about under our Instructional/Informational Videos. As part of that, note that we will send you TWO LAYERS of 1" thick foam. You will glue the TOP LAYER of foam (the one with the tracks) to the BOTTOM layer so that the whole thing becomes a single 2" thick 'monolith' of material. We will, of course, provide detailed instructions on all of this.
All track is Kato Unitrack. We include track feeders, and all turnouts are manual. We do not furnish any power controllers, nor do we furnish any locomotives, cars, or buildings.
We offer free shipping. We do NOT accept returns.
