[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Bikerdad One of the cons not mentioned is the relative lack of detail compared to the larger scales, and the difficulty some folks encounter working with the smaller parts... [/quote] But at the same time, the smaller scale means that you don't have to worry about all of the smaller details, especially when viewing distances are 3 ft. or more (such as from behind a rope viewing an N-track layout). So it becomes a trade-off. If you are interested in replicating the small details of an engine, car, or scene, then HO is a better choice. But if you are rather interested in the overall feel of a scene or operation, then N is better, as you don't have to bother with as many smaller details to replicate the "feel" of the engine. Of course, that doesn't mean that there aren't people like myself who enjoy the challenge of replicating as many small details as possible on an N-scale engine. ---jps
