That comment had some truth to it up to about eight to ten years ago. I've been into N scale since the late '70s. Back then there was some decent stuff for its time available, but most of it was pure crap. Sometimes I wonder how N scale survived, much less grew in popularity. Over the years the quality and quantity have greatly improved. Now the N scale locos comming out of Atlas, Kato and even Life Like are every bit as good looking and smooth running as their HO counterparts. Rolling stock from Micro Trains, Intermountain, Deluxe and now from Atlas rival what is available in HO. <br /> I admit because of the size it is harder to detail to the degree of HO or larger scales, and if you do, its harder to see it. What N has over the larger scales is the ability to have a detailed operating layout in a small space or a more realisticly operating layout in a larger space. As the saying goes; If you want to model a train, go with HO. If you want to model a railroad, go with N.
