I came back after 30 years. I was former HO and had my doubts about "N". But Size of my room dictated "N". But Now I'm happy with it. I didn't go DCC yet because I got great buys on slightly used equipment that was all DC, though 3/4 of it are DCC ready. As far as sound I would go with an MRC Sound module or similar and use a 5 speaker computer speaker system for direction and Bass from the sub. Even Dr Bose would have a hard time getting realistic sound from "N". I think the future is small speakers in the engine for mids and highs, and Subwoofer for Bass which is non-directional. <br /> <br />You could put HO in the 15 x 3 space is you put a Dogbone at each end for the return loops. Thats what I did with "N". The scenery to train aspect in "N" is great and you can run long trains. But I can say my 44 year old Eyes could use something larger. I had to pay someone to install my KD- Couplers, I just couldn't do it. If your starting Fresh no matter which scale Go DCC, It's on my Christmas list :) <br /> <br />Welcome Dave
