J. Freezer and are designed to fit into rooms of a size to be found in a modern home (i.e. small!). These plans ably demonstrate that in N Gauge you have the space to build the sort of railway that many 4mm scale workers can only dream about. All the plans have been drawn for this book on a computer using a CAD program, and metric units. The squared grid is set at 150mm intervals, roughly 6 inches. However the author has given the overall sizes in both metric and imperial standards, using the 'metric' inch of 25mm as the unit of conversion rather than the exact 25.4mm. The point is that these are project plans, for although with CAD you can work precisely to 1mm, by the time you've tried to measure from a small scale drawing you'll have introduced errors in the order of half an inch. Apart from that, the reader's layout is unlikely to be precisely the size quoted. The reader is advised to set out their actual layout to full size on the baseboard, or, if preferred, on a large sheet of paper and cheap wallpaper rolls can be a great way of doing this. As it is vital to ensure you can fit the pointwork into the space the reader is advised to use either the excellent Peco templates, or better still the actual points they will be using. Plain track can usually be fudged to fit so long as the reader doesn't introduce too tight a curve. The author's object has been to ensure as far as he can that the reader will be able to fit the plan into the space specified. The author has erred on the side of caution with clearances and has worked to the given metric dimensions for the baseboards. As the imperial sizes are larger than the metric, the reader should have little trouble if they prefer the older standards
