E-Z track planning & layout book

[eliese635]

Re: E-Z track planning & layout book --------- as published, specifies HO.  a) is all the geometry/relative piece sizes/etc the same for N as for HO; i.e. will the book work verbatim using N?  b) if not, is there any plan to publish such a book for use w/ N E-Z track?

forgive me if this topic has been covered before; i suspect the geometry/piece size/etc is NOT the same HO/N  --  the topic of N figure 8 has come up at least twice and the answer(s) become quite complicated, even the best involving "fudging" whereas (as a test for Sn3.5) i recall the HO figure 8 fit together w/ no problem at all.

Dear Eliese,

They're off a little in their proportions, see my discussion here:

Use the HO books for inspiration and try putting together something similar in N scale using AnyRail.com (free download).

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
