show you all the experiences I had and still have, when I build my first layout
in N-scale.

These are some of the suppliers of N-scale stuff, which I have
found
most helpful, with a large stock and great prices.
Don't worry about that some of these Locomotives and/or Wagons were
never
seen on the same track or even the same Country.
I do this for fun and I'm not a proto type rivet counter :-)
I buy my rolling stock by looks, shape and color.
