If eye sight is a problem and you are going N scale, then go contemporary, with the large equipment and maybe have a feeder logging railway that is small. SD90's are quite large engines and are the same length as an HO F unit. The same is true with larger rolling stock; center beams, automax's etc are quite long and look almost TT in size. <br /> <br />In N scale also make sure your layout is higher, it will make a huge difference; more so than in HO. So I would recommend around 50 inches or higher depending on your height. I have a double decker at 37 and 57 inches. At 37 inches the SD90 looks good; at 57 inches the SD90 looks great.
