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:

John, these are REALLY cute. I rarely use that word, but these are just
so cool.

One of the reasons I never really got into LEGO trains was the amount of
floor space required. Even an HO scale yard is a bit much. I never even
thought of doing N scale.

BTW, if you still have the HO scale trains, try the 4 wide transports
on my site at:
