Good point Dario.
It's a shame that N, in the UK at least, has been subjected to some pretty poor model standards in the past, which I think has hampered its popularity. It's a chicken or egg situation. Modellers won't go N because the standard of models has been dire in the past, and so the firms won't invest in better models because the market isn't there.
But look at the situation on the continent and in North America. Excellent N models, easily as good as their OO/HO counterparts. Why can't we have something similar in the UK?
Would Fleischmann (for example) even think of releasing an N German Pacific with vastly undersize front bogie wheels? I think not.
