Don, Sounds like you have pretty much made up your mind about going N scale, but I had to drop my two cents worth anyway. My interest in HO scale started when I was a teenager so when the interest in model railroading resurfaced and when my son came of age to appreciate the hobby, I naturally resumed HO scale. I have looked at N scale from time to time and I keep seeing (barely) the difficulties with detail work. I believe you are a mechanically inclined person and would have a tendency toward detail work given the time. I would think that with slipping eye sight, as most of us experience, a level of detail work in N scale would not satisfy your technical urges as much as HO scale would. I think I read a suggestion in this thread to get involved in a local club to help you get into the hobby deep enough to find which scale you would be most satisfied with. Its kinda hard to switch scales on a retirement budget after you have been collecting for a while. Ken, D&J Railroad, Stafford, VA
