Showcasing more modern-era layouts?

As I get older, I'm going the other way from an appreciation of steam to a greater appreciation for modern equipment. <br /> <br />I would like to make a prediction here. The layouts that feature today's equipment is most likely going to be an N scale layout. The larger and longer modern equipment dwarfs many basement layouts that are dedicated to the steam era. Can you imagine two SD90's lashed to 25 AutoMAX's, center beams and articulated intermodal; do you know how long that train would be in HO? You can do that same layout in N in a much smaller area. HO is a good steam/diesel transition era scale, N is a better modern scale.
