Lists of N scale (N gauge) models
One question which frequently comes up in various N scale forums and groups is "is there a list of all N gauge models ever made?"
To which the answer is "no", but there are a number of sites providing comprehensive lists of models for particular manufacturers, subject areas and other information such as scans of old catalogues. This is a (incomplete and work-in-progress) "meta" list of such sites.
