Scale Differences

For historical reasons that have a lot to do with modelling outside valve gear on British 'kettles', British N gauge models are made to a different scale to those of continental Europe or North America. While everyone else's models are 1:160, ours are the larger 1:148. The difference is obvious when models of similar prototypes are placed next to one another.
