N Scale Model Railroad

N scale is 1/160 of full size, standard US track gauge scales down to 9mm.

I'd have more info here, but I'm just starting to find links. MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club (TMRC) is finally online. I've also found these other links:

Atlas Model Railroad which seems to be the standard source for track at least.
Andrew Toppan's Railroad and Model Railroad Homepage also showed up under Lycos.
Some interesting links from the Cyberspace World Railroad:
- Greatorex, Dick: Sun'N'Sand N-scale model railroad club
- McKeever, Rob: Penn State Model Railroad Club Home Page
- Adams, Bill: Carnegie Mellon Railroad Club
- TMRC Techinfo page.

I'm playing with a 68HC11 based controller from Coactive Systems <coactive@netcom.com> which seems nicely configured, they've also got a port of GCC for it (!) which I'll probably use. I may end up doing PCM control, and putting some sensors in place to show the position of the car on the web...

As part of the Cygnus Holiday Web Page, my N-scale model railroad set was on the net. It's a fun hack, you could even vote to control the train! It's offline for the season though, at least until I have a chance to set it up at home; you can still see a movie of it there.
