A while back I had some fun building some 4 wide train cars which were
amazingly similar to HO scale in model railroading. Well, my daughter
and son (12 & 10) thought it would be fun to build some *2* wide train
cars, and so that is what they did. I bought them an N scale boxcar to
look at, and they were off to the races. Here are some pics of their
work, along with a few of the N scale boxcar itself. Of course I am
very proud of them (my kids and their MOCs:-)
Check the pics out here:

BTW, if you still have the HO scale trains, try the 4 wide (...) (23 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

| My sincerest compliments to your children. They did an absolutely beautiful job of re-creating N scale trains using LEGOs! That took some real imaginative thinking. I am truly impressed! Respectfully, Ken Wright The pictures showing the N scale (...) (23 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.trains)
