Here are my pros and cons <br /> <br />N-Scale Pros <br />-You can build what you can't build in larger scale layouts and in alot less space <br />-Storage:If you ever go to a bigger scale and want to keep them, you can easily store them, or better yet, display them. <br />-Smaller Spaces <br />-More portable <br />-it's possible to create a realistic switchyard <br />-Cheaper than some things in Ho-Scale , S-Scale, Z-Scale, O-Scale, and G-Scale. <br />-Power packs can power n scale track easier <br /> <br />N-Scale Cons <br />-Less detail <br />-Usually, trains with precise detail may cost more than the same prototype in HO scale. <br />-Not as durable as some trains in other scales <br />-Can be more expensive than HO trains. <br />-Less variety than HO and O scale trains. <br />-May not be in as much hobby shops as you want. <br />-Bachmann once promised an Acela N-scale set, however, one was never made. <br />-Some detail may be left out, (such as the Pennsylvania Keystone aka Pennsylvania Rairoad Logo on the front of Pennsylvania Steam Locomotives) <br /> <br /> <br />As much as I love N scale and HO scale trains, I now collect and opperate O scale trains. Currently, all layouts are temporary and no benchwork is in place. I usually run my Lionel and MTH trains in my basement, using the Lionel fast track or MTH Railking track. Currently my Lionel set is running under the Christmas tree, and the MTH set is what I'm getting for christmas
