I also liked the little roller the modeller had set up to put balsa wood through to create corrugated iron sheets for the buildings' roofs.
I like the compactness of the N, there are groups that build N-scale module then link them all together. My hands are getting a bit arthritic as well as having been abused by 30+ years of hands on construction work. The two groups are
Free-Mo and
N-Trak, I have toyed with the idea of the Z stuff and putting it in a table top set up, but my bride wouldn't let me convert the dining room table.
