OTHER INFORMATION | ||
By nScalers, for nScalers - nScale.net is the creation of Todd Vaules with the help of some family and friends. The idea for the site came from Todd's frustration with not finding quality N scale information on the web. Many of the resources on the web are limited in their usefulness, or exist to serve some profit motive. The intention here is to allow everyone in the community to contribute to the information resources in this portal. | ||
Naptown & White River | The Naptown & White River Model Railroad Club is a modeling club located on the south side of Indianapolis. Historically the club has modeled a large, permanent HO layout in their clubhouse. Plans are now underway to build a permanent N Scale layout in the building as well.
