If you could model another scale......

[Anonymous]

For me it would be 3 rail O (preferably Lionel) or N.[^]

[lupo]

don't know the scale but I saw a 15' model of a BigBoy somewhere on the net

[EL PARRo]

I would model N scale for the simple reason that I could cram a lot more trains into the same amount of space.

[Anonymous]

I have is a HO right now, think some day would like to get a O running around overhead on walls.. around in room.

[Hawks05]

probably N as i don't have any room for the bigger stuff like O in the room i have now.

Works for me. I love long Freight trains, deep canyons, long bridges and big freight yards and Engine facilities.

On3 to me would make an ideal garden scale as opposed to G[oX)]

I have to say n scale. what fun I could have operating long trains in a small space!!!!!!! :)

Right ow I am modeling in ho scale.

Considering my obsession with railroading in small spaces N would be a logical choice--if I were to try to model, say, the Southern Pacific shops and yards in Sacramento I'd probably go N to allow me to have room for articulated cab-forwards and other heavy-duty things.

[IRONROOSTER]

I picked G because that is significantly different from S. N could be an interesting choice also, same reason. For me the point would be doing a different kind of modeling - might do it anyway once i retire and have some time.

I clicked other. Not sure if 1:1 scale counts as modelling, but it is another scale that I'd love to get involved with... It's one of my "if I won the lottery" ideas, to buy a disused station, lay a bit of track, buy a diesel railcar or two...

[AltonFan]

Not merely O, but Proto:48. With lots of steam, and full-length passenger cars in full-length passenger trains.

[AggroJones]

N scale. Cause there are so many great steam locomotives out, and more one the way. And you cram much more layout in a given space.

[preceng]

N definately. Just to be able to run a unit coal train

[BRAKIE]

I would go with On30 or 2 rail O scale..No Lionel for me please.[:0][:D]

[Anonymous]

G or N or Z, I would also choose O scale but MTH and Lionel seem to be competing for the most unrealistic models. I like N and because of the fact I can run longer trains. I chose G because it seems very fun running trains through your back (or front) yard.

[Anonymous]

well if I could model more scales, I'd have to have a very very large and deep layout, put some N's in the far back, HO's in the middle and probably some O's on the front and blend them to look good.

Then I'd take and build a big elaborate overhead mid-room system in G scale that had plenty of turnouts, sidings, ect and could be seen fully from a balcony.

And on the far end of this great room would be a 1:2 train that went out a set of doors, around my inaginary 200 acre land, and returned back to the big room.

Ok, there's me dreaming for the day.

I checked of G scale. I will most likely stay with HO but my 55yrs+ hands and eyes make the larger scales look good.

[Anonymous]

N definitely. I have limited space and so will need a smaller scale.

S scale would be interesting, especially if I had significant room. I barely have enough space for my HO layout. I like N scale somewhat, but the size is a bit hard on the eyes. Can't wait to move into a new house with a basement, regardless of scale![:)]

[CBQ_Guy]

Well I have my old N-gauge stuff and a hollow door slab I picked up cheap years ago, so I was hoping I could put something different on it than the main HO layout in the basement. I haven't been able to come up with a spot for it, though.

If price weren't a consideration, I would like like to have a really large building (on a really large lot!) where I could set up a really large O gauge, scale layout. It would probably take something a bit smaller that a gymnasium to satisfy me, though. Realistically, I may try someday to fit in an O gauge or possibly even an O-narrow gauge shelf layout someplace.

[ddechamp71]

As I'm modelling Z, I chose the opposite: G, as I have a 7000 square meter garden, and I think I'll do it when my Z scale empire is completed, so in 20 years! It should be D&RGW narrow gauge (as I falled in love with K27 - K28 - K36 - steam locomotives).

Doing G scale indoors but if I started another layout I would chose On30.

[Anonymous]

For me it would be the 1 1/2 inch 7 3/4 gauge ridable scale intstead of watching your trains, your actually riding it along the track with your ride along brakie actually getting off to toss switches, talk ya back to a joint, wave ya ahead for the drop off ,or do a walk along pretrip inspection and anything else you can think of to do that for me is the real hands on experience trouble is the COST!!! i am talkin bout $4000 dollars for a small electric loco and $5000 to $7000 for a gas engine or the same size!![:O] one day i hope to be able to have one of these but not in the near future [sigh] i can wish cant i?

[on30francisco]

I would like to build an indoor G scale narrow gauge layout. I currently model in On30 and HO.

[Anonymous]

No to be rude but I would never model nothing else than HO Scale,Why?
Because N scale is too small and one size larger than HO is too big for me!
HO is perfect,in other words........

[Anonymous]

I would prefer One to One scale.

[Anonymous]

I voted N. I run HO now but if I had to pick a second, N would be the one.

[AntonioFP45]

I guess I'm the "oddball" here. Even if I could I don't think now that I would model an additional scale or change over.

I currently model HO. There has been an "explosion" of items, details, gadgets, etc, that have been targeted at the HO market since the mid 90s. N Scale is neat but my eyes aren't that great, and for a satisfactory O Scale layout (or larger) I would want a LOT of space as I like running lonnnnnng freight trains and 12 car passenger trains with 85ft. long streamlined cars.

[Anonymous]

I currently am in N scale, and I have no desire to change scales either. But if I HAD to, I would go to HO, probably Proto:87.
