[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cjm89 Ed: And the more I think about N scale the less I like it. The roof fell in on that idea so to speak once I realized how poor N scale steam is-so I've said to heck with it I don't care how little space I have, I'll take that Horribly Oversized scale over N!!!!! There's just too much transition era stuff available in HO that just ain't there in N. So now it's a decision of trying to sqeeze a 4x8 into a small room in a hall, or temporarliy replacing it with "HOTrak" modules. I'll jst have to put away my 50' cars, and anything larger than a 2-8-0 in steam or a GP-7 in diesel until I have a nice, HUGE basement to put them in, and start running 0-6-0s, 0-8-0s, Balwdwin and Alco switchers, centercabs, and maybe even a few "slugs" or "critters".[/quote] Now don't get to far down on "N"ormal as it has its place. If you can get enough space to build a 5'X9' it'll give you a much bigger radius. Think about mounting your layout on a pully system in the garage and store it over the car. That was how my first layout started. Later on dad parked his car outside and we took over his half of the garage. Ya'll have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY Bob
