What is the smallest baseboard size for N gauge?
Based on the principle of a closed-loop, the smallest effective baseboard size for N Gauge is a baseboard of 20 inches (508mm) square. This measurement is based on track components of No.1 Radius (228 mm or 9") which is the tightest curve available in N Gauge.
