Layout styles... (N part 9)
As my exploration of N scale continues, I have a few lengths of track and the stock I've bought left out on the dining room table. Interacting with this as I pass I noticed that there is something in Colin's comments about landscape painting on N part 8 that I wanted to explore... Farish 31 and OCA fitted with DG 2mm scale couplings, viewed at eye level. You see, the birds eye view of N scale feels comfortable, unlike when I work in OO or HO where my natural tendency is to get down low, with N I feel happy looking down on it. That said, I wonder if that's a mix of both it's size (as Colin suggested) and our traditional exposure of the scale. What I was excited about in 'Game Changer' was the opportunity to use N differently, to see it as an equal to OO/H0, and how this might be explored and presented in both a home and exhibition setting. This sketch goes some way to exploring the concept and idea, and from it I have determined a few things to take further wit
