N Scale EZ Track


Bachman EZ Track has revolutionized the model train hobby with its ease of use and durable construction. This model train track is built right into a plastic base eliminating the need to staple or glue cork or foam roadbed down before you can enjoy running your model train. With EZ Track you simply snap the track sections together, plug the transformer wire into the terminal section, put the train on the track and move the controller arm. N scale train track was never so easy to use! N scale train track has evolved over the years. The early years of model railroading, hobbyists had to lay track similar to the method used in real trains. The ties had to be cut from basswood stock, a laborious process. The ties were glued to cork roadbed after the rail route was laid out. The stainless steel rails were then configured to the roadbed and carefully nailed in place. A track gauge was used to ensure that the rails were the correct distance apart. Track laying using this method was as much an art as a hobby.

The advent of Snap Track made the track laying process much easier and faster. Atlas is now the leading manufacturer of this type of HO scale train track. The track is pre-mounted on plastic ties in standard length. Straight track is available in a standard of 6 inch lengths, as well as an assortment of shorter sections. Flex track, which is ideal for either custom radius curves or long runs of straight, connection free track sections. Curves are available in ten, eleven and one fourth, or twelve and one half inch radius. Partial sections of 1/3 and ½ are also available. Different types of switches are also available for this track. Code refers to the height of the rails. Code 55 is the most common type available.




Model train track took a big step forward with pre-mounted track. This N scale track was pioneered by Bachman, under the name of EZ Track. This track was already mounted on the roadbed which made it easy to have a model railroad up and running quickly. EZ Track come is two different types, steel and nickel silver, as well as an array of different types of sections. There are eighteen and twenty two inch curves, different lengths of straight and crossings.

Atlas and Lifelike also manufacture similar products to EZ Track and Lifelike has an adaptor which allows EZ Track to be used with its Lock-Tite product. Atlas HO scale train track sections can be removed from the roadbed and used in a conventional layout.

N Scale Model House


N Scale Plastic Model Train Houses- Accessory Buildings For Electric Trains
N scale model houses are an indespensible model train accessory for a train layout, diorama, or architectural project. The structures are available in a wide array of building types and styles.



Plastic houses are the most common, and most of these are nicely detailed. Painting is optional, as most of the houses come precolored. Painting definitely makes the houses more realistic. Make sure you use a paint compatible with plastic houses. Regular enamels will melt the styrene plastic.

Prebuilt scale house models are the easiest, because they require no assembly. Model Power has the largest selection of these model train buildings, but Bachman also has a nice selection. These houses usually come with a light wired right into the house, so all that is required is to hook the wiring into the accessory lug on your train transformer.



You will find the largest selection of N scale houses availble as kits which must be assembled. Generally these kits are precolored, so again painting is optional. There are both snap plastic model houses and glue. The snap kits will state that no glue is required for assembly but they will benefit from some glue. Not required, but the plastic houses will stay together better.

The snap fit model train buildings usually have very few pieces and can be assembled in a few minutes time. The snap houses are suitable for ages eight and up, and are an easy build, so they make a great model train accessory for the young child with his first train set.

N scale houses in glue kits are usually a bit more challenging. Some of the German kits like Faller and Noch are very detailed. Unfortunately these kits are usually too European in style to be suitable for American layouts. But the kits are very high quality and well engineered. The main American manufacturers of model train buildings are Bachman, Lifelike, and Model Power. There are many others, but these are the most common ones available.

Most of the model train building kits do not include a light kit, and again, for most painting is optional. For the hobbyist or architech who wants a very realistic appearance, painting may be desired. But most people will be satisified with them the way they are.

N scale houses are just one model train accessory which will make your train layout more realistic and fun. There are many more.
