Damn, that's a loaded question? I am heavily invested in HO scale, with DCC and Soundtraxx in almost every locomotive. Layout room is most of, but not all of, a 13' X 11' bedroom, so not a lot of room. Having said all this, I like the virtues of N-scale for being able to model trains IN the scenery rather than trains AS the scenery. O scale appeals to me, especially narrow gauge (On3, On2 1/2), but the size of the attendant buildings would make anything other than a shelf with peninsula point-to-point layout impossible. And S-scale is a nice compromise for standard gauge railroading between O and HO scales. So many scales, so little time (and space and money and . . . ). With more room, I'd probably find the money to model in at least two other scales. But I come back from train shows somewhat dissatisfied with HO scale and what little of my layout I have built. HO scale is attractive in the availablity of "stuff" and the comparatively low prices, but it just not exotic enough, I guess. The only thing I know for certain is that I have absolutely NO interest in building an outdoor G-scale layout (but I AM helping a friend build an extensive one).
