Looking closer at the project I had a bit of a change of heart, and decided to go back to the original plan in HO scale as I felt it just would not be possible to build this type of trackwork in N scale.<\/p>\n<p>After building all the HO scale trackwork I felt that maybe there are some techniques that would allow an N scale version to be produced, and in code 40 to boot.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend I was able to produce the quad diamond in N scale and it turned out very well.  Now I have to decide if I am going to make the complete yard in N scale as well as in HO scale.  I had planned on making the layout portable so I could take it to shows occasionally and building one in N scale would allow me to do that, and fit it into a suitcase&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I will post details on the techniques used to go from HO scale to N scale later this week.<\/p>\n<p><embed style=\"width:320px;height:240px;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/video.google.com\/googleplayer.swf?docId=-5001984903545509813&#038;hl=en\" id=\"VideoPlayback\" align=\"middle\"  quality=\"best\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" scale=\"noScale\" salign=\"TL\"  FlashVars=\"playerMode=embedded\"><\/embed><\/p>\n<p>After reviewing the post I realized the images look like the trackwork might have been scaled down in Photoshop.
