Yeah, I've always loved these old Porter locomotives myself! And this one in particular is TINY! The track it runs on is only 20 inches wide!! :iconfoxhahaplz:

Something tells me you would like z scales they have the tiniest steam locomotives and they're cute and classy. also this one has a little Europeanized feel to it

Eh... not really. The smallest scale I'm comfortable with is HO. However that's not to say I don't like narrower gauges! ;p

Such as N gauge and Z gauge.

ho is good but expensive for me. I like n more for some reason

Eh... To each their own. I personally find N scale to be a little too small. I'm a details person so the larger the model the more details and features can be installed in them. :)

Although I have very little modeling experience I still consider myself a craftsman modeler. I enjoy scratch building, modifying, kitbashing, and altering models of all sorts for my hobby. I'm also attracted to a number of "Odd Ball" scales such as On20, On18, 7/8n2, ect... They have more of a craftsmen apprach too them and take me back, in a sense, to how our hobby originated. But that's my outlook. I'm not one to say that "This Scale is Better or Best". To each his or her own and I'll be more than happy to see what they can do. I know a gentleman who models N Scale and does an extremely marvelous job at it! :iconfoxyayzplz:

large scales to me break their parts easily hence I try to stay away from them unless I have too much money and can afford garden scales (I like those!) n is cheap and affordable when it comes to tracks, cargoes, and buildings.

To each their own I suppose. I don't judge one for their personal choice in modeling. :) It's all trains, so as long as we enjoy the hobby that's all that matters in the end! ;p
