[quote user="richhotrain"] I would like to hear from anyone who converted from HO scale to N scale, pro or con. <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote]   Rich, I had a large HO scale layout at our previous house. When I knew we were moving I made the decision to change to N scale because I knew I'd have a smaller layout. I've been very happy with that decision. I have Kato and Atlas locomotives.The Katos are best, but they all run well. The rolling stock that's available now is finely detailed and there's a great deal to choose from. I decided to go with Peco code 55 track. It's more difficult to work with than Unitrack would be, but I like the look and the ability to put the track exactly where I want it to go. To me, the single biggest advantage is being able to do so much in a space that wouldn't allow for much in HO. If you haven't tried it already, you may want to do what I did. I got a piece of plywood about 3 x 4 feet and put a simple loop of track with a siding on it. I got some equipment and ran it to see how I liked it. Once I decided the move was right for me I began to acquire more equipment. Let us know what you decide.
