Go with HO (and I am an N Scaler.) Also, DON'T build where you can't reach. Those 4x8 sheets are ok, untill you have to reach to the back of one from the front over details, etc., for a lenghty time while cleaning / repairing. If it is your first layout K.I.S.S. cannot be overstated. You want to start with HO, get good with your benchwork and tracklaying skill, then consider moving to a smaller gauge (if ever.) I liked HO, and it was a lot more reliable (larger margin of error,) but in N Scale I have an EMPIRE where I would have had TRACK in HO. Good luck... oh yeah, NO MATTER WHAT, GO DCC not DC from the beginning! Welcome to Model Railroading! No matter what you build, you can build better the next time. Tell yourself to get up and get started. The rest will come to you!
