[quote user="spindoctor"] In pursuit of deciding whether to switch from my 25 years stored HO trains over to N scale, I ordered a small yardmaster train set made by "Life-Like" with a diesel switcher and a few rolling stock.  (It's for the tree, honey.  Not for me....) My question is are all N scale locos this freaking NOISY?  You can barely converse at normal levels with this thing running.  It's not the track noise (which is also bad enough with its "Power-Lok" track).  I cannot recall any HO loco that makes any where near this much noise. So, how much noise do N scale locos make normally?  (and what's the deal with "power-lok" track, good, bad or just plain ugly?) Thanks    [/quote] spindoctor,I too switched from HO to N and have Atlas, Kato and Life-Like engines.  All of them are really quiet.  I have heard of some bad LL engines though.  I'm not really sure about the track.  I use Kato and love it.  I bet if you get some decent engines and track you'll like what N-scale has to offer.Rob
