i think n scale became popular because it is smaller than ho,the most popular scale. people were drawn to it because you can build a good size layout in a smaller space. when it first got rolling the equipment was not that good, and people stayed away from it for that reason. N gauge equipment has now gotten to the point, that it rivals ho scale. for whatever the reason,people from both scales get a bit ruffled and seem to think that everything they do in their scale is better than the other. i have seen a couple of layouts where both scales were used together and the effect was outstanding. articles and plans can be converted into any scale you want,regardless how complicated they are,you just need to use your imagination. isn't that what the hobby is all about?when i started in this hobby i chose ho scale because it was the most popular. actually O gauge was pretty popular back then. clearly HO and N scale are the choice now,so most everyone is drawn to them the other scales O, S, Z, etc. are practiced by indivduals who want something different from the norm and they produce some outstanding work. i say to each his own, i enjoy looking at any scale that i see. model railroading is for all scales not just one or two.
