Since the former [[Japanese National Railways]] and other major private railways adopted a track gauge of {{convert|1067|mm|ftin}}, Japanese N-scale models of conventional railways adopted 1:150 scale with 9&nbsp;mm gauge. But, in the case of Shinkansen, which adopted a {{convert|1435|mm|ftin|adj=on}} track gauge, models are scaled down to 1:160. A small number of modelers adopted a model scale of 1:120 using 9&nbsp;mm gauge tracks to represent the narrow-gauge railway {{track gauge|3ft6in}} gauge lines common in Japan. This is a different prototype gauge and scale to standard N scale with the narrower prototype gauge and called [[TT scale#Gauges|TT-9]].
