N Scale will allow you 15 inch radius that would be equal to a 24 to 36 inch radius on HO. Given your space, unless you intend to only "spur" your line, with no dogbone, etc... I would get comfortable and accurate with N scale. The warnings from the HO lovers are absolutely accurate. It can be a true nightmare at first. But once your in, your in. <br /> <br />I switched from HO and miss the ability to "fudge" the trackwork. The equipment was easier to handle, rail up, and repair. However, if space is tight, you can literally model the world in a small n scale layout. You will look back at HO and it will seem like a garden railroad. <br /> <br />If you want a dogbone, and if you like big cars (modern double stacks, or big passenger cars,) then skip HO and get deep into N Scale. If you have arthritis, vision problems, or anything else that would prevent you from working with the "little trains," then re-think your space, and look at HO.
