N SCALE PARTS A to H
This section lists N scale detail parts in brass, covering items from antennas and anti-climbers to air pumps and bells. The parts are intended for use on N scale locomotives and rolling stock, suitable for both steam and diesel prototypes, including North American roads like CNR, GE, and N&W. Each part is a precision casting that requires careful removal from its sprue and cleaning of any flash before installation. Use a sharp hobby knife and fine files to clean the parts, then test-fit them on your model, making any necessary adjustments with a pin vise and small drill. Secure the parts with a cyanoacrylate adhesive or epoxy, as these small brass details are not designed for high-stress applications.
The NA series includes various antennas and anti-climbers. Sinclair and firecracker antennas are typical of North American locomotives, and can be fitted to the cab roof or hood of diesel units. Anti-climbers are mounted on the front pilot or deck of locomotives, and are available in several styles to match different manufacturers and eras. The NA7 air hoses are flexible and can be bent to the desired angle, then glued into place on the pilot or at the coupler area. The NA11 and NA8 steam-era air pumps are for mounting on the boiler side or running board of steam locomotives, while the NA12 speed recorder is a small box typically mounted on the truck or side frame of a diesel. The NA13 Worthington feedwater pump is a distinctive steam locomotive accessory, often mounted on the boiler front or side.
The NB series focuses on bells and a steam tender buffer. Bells are provided in several styles: high hood bells for road switchers, cab mount bells for F units and other cab units, and specific bells for N&W and Main Central prototypes. Mounting a bell usually involves drilling a small hole in the locomotive's hood or cab roof, then securing the bell with a drop of glue. The NB15 steam tender buffer is a detail part for the rear of a steam tender, used to protect the coupler area. All these parts are cast in brass and may be painted or left bare as desired. For best results, clean the parts with a mild solvent before painting, and use a primer to ensure good paint adhesion. These parts are suitable for N scale models from various manufacturers, and can enhance the realism of your locomotives with minimal effort.
