I'm getting ready to start my first "real" layout--my first project was a small 16" by 3' diorama to help me get a feel for the various aspects of model railroading before I dove into a larger project. I used code 55 (N-scale) for the diorama, but I am considering using code 80 track for a larger layout, due to the wider variety of track pieces/ accessories to choose from, and also I have had some troubles with power loss as my locos went thru code 55 turnouts. Any pros or cons on the 2 types of track from those who have used both types? I used Atlas code 55 track and turnouts on my diorama.
