What Scale is N Scale?

In the model train world, scales are how people categorize and size train sets, trains, and similar items. Tomix specializes in N scale models, which range from items at 1/148 to 1/160 scale. This means Tomix N scale buildings, trains, and everything else must all run on the same N scale in order to run properly. An N scale train set is half the size of the larger HO scale sets.
