When I was a young teenager I worked in HO, and still have some HO equipment. Now my own kids are growing old enough to appreciate the trains and I'm considering N because of space considerations (of course). My question is, is N too small for kids to work with? My oldest boy (10yrs old) had trouble getting the wheels on the track. A couple of my girls are interested in kit building structures but I fear the small size of the parts might be discouraging to them. <br /> <br />Everyone is excited right now -- we have an N scale loop setup on a piece of plywood and the Atlas locomotive pulling cars around. No scenery. Track not laid so well. But the enthusiam in all the kids, from oldest to youngest, is tremendous! I don't want to dampen them by making it too difficult with N. <br /> <br />Should I stick with N or try to find space for HO? <br /> <br />Any opinions?
