N scale seems to have improved massively in recent years - I gave up on British N due to the awful Graham Farish locos and cars - these things were dire, though they've apparently improved after Bachmann bought the company. I recently traded in the bulk of my British N against some Fleischmann German N - the difference is amazing - proper close coupling where passenger cars touch on straights but move apart on curves, flywheels in locos, directional lighting that looks realistic, etc. <br /> <br />From what I've seen of the latest crop of US N locos they look to be as good a standard as the Fleischmann equipment. I have some US N - a couple of Bachmann Fs, a ConCor/Fleischmann F3, and a few others, which always impressed me due to the value for money. Looks like prices and quality are now pretty much the same as HO, so well worth a look. There was a review of the Lifelike N GP7 or GP9 in a UK magazine recently - the only way to tell it wasn't the HO one was the caption underneath!
