[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by DavidH</i> <br /><br />John, most of what you said is merely a matter of opinion based on your own approach to the hobby. There is certainly nothing wrong with that. In answer to two of your points though, to do with code 55 and low profile wheels, the answers are "lots" and "most serious modelers now in construction phases". <br /> <br />Generally speaking, if you are building to Proto:87 standards, N scale is not going to appear adequate to you. For most of us, though, appearance and operation for all normal purposes in N can equal HO. We each need to make our own choices. <br /> <br />David <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Bringing Proto:87 standards into this really goes beyond the scope of the original question. Whom I have in mind is the average model railroader with an average skill level, working within a typical budget. <br /> <br />If "scale" means a miniature reproduction that is reasonably close to the prototype, then HO will always be far closer to scale to start with than N. <br /> <br />John <br /> <br />
