<p>[quote user="richhotrain"]</p> <p>I would like to hear from anyone who converted from HO scale to N scale, pro or con.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> </p> <p>Rich,</p> <p>I had a large HO scale layout at our previous house.</p> <p>When I knew we were moving I made the decision to change to N scale because I knew I'd have a smaller layout.</p> <p>I've been very happy with that decision.</p> <p>I have Kato and Atlas locomotives.The Katos are best, but they all run well.</p> <p>The rolling stock that's available now is finely detailed and there's a great deal to choose from.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>To me, the single biggest advantage is being able to do so much in a space that wouldn't allow for much in HO.</p> <p>If you haven't tried it already, you may want to do what I did.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Once I decided the move was right for me I began to acquire more equipment.</p> <p>Let us know what you decide.</p>
