The radius of the old PRR Horseshoe Curve was 609 feet and 637 feet respectfully. And that was very tight for a mainline. That translates to 45.67 inches and and 47.75 inches respectively in 1:160 scale. A lot of times people start out with a small starter set consisting of a four axle diesel and some 40 foot cars.
Kato have a few, not sure about Athearn, and Bachmann make a decent amount. Which manufacturer you favour will also be influenced by the location you're modelling. Atlas is entirely American AFAIK, same with Athearn. Kato does American and also a lot of Japanese stuff, being a Japanese company.
29,000. 253. As some of you have seen, ScaleTrains has announced the SD40T-2 in N scale. For those of us that bought big into the same Intermountain unit, but were disappointed in its quality, this is a tempting choice but difficult to justify the astronomical cost of replacing a single unit much less the fleet.

5,508. 2,015. 98. In HO and N, don't pass up Athearn either. They make solid basic and high quality RTR stuff. As was suggested, Bachmann's spectrum line is very good, and they do make some sets in the spectrum line, but their regular sets should be avoided. YoHo, Nov 23, 2009. #8.
49. 162. 3. Hi all. Anyone have any experience with the N scale Big boys. I have been looking at the Athearn, Broadway Limited, Kato, and Bachman I just noticed has one. I do like the Athearns looks the best because the drivers are much more visible (Brighter). I like to see the articulation on this Locomotive esp in this smaller scale its nice.
Even longtime HO institution Athearn had started making N scale just a few years prior. Thanks to newer technology to design and manufacture models, 21st century companies like BLMA, ExactRail, Rapido Trains, ScaleTrains, Jacksonville Terminal Company and others emerged and changed the N scale game forever.
