Welcome to model railroading and this forum. The two most popular scales are HO (1 to 87) in an overwhelming majority, followed by N scale (1 to 160). About 99% of hobbyiest decide on a scale, then try and fit the scale into the area they have to model. This isn't a big deal if you are modelling in a basement, but it is some what of an issue if your space is limited. A 4 by 8 feet layout in HO scale will yield you a modest layout; that same space in N scale can provide you with a heavy industrial layout, with lots of track and switching interest. <br /> <br />So if you aren't too far into the hobby, look at the space you have, then decide what scale will fit best in that space for what you want.
