  • Newbie, just starting in N-Scale
  • My main interest is HO scale. However, I have some N scale stuff, along with a G scale set under the Christmas tree.
  • G, O Scale Trolley under Catenary, S, HO, N.

    G, O and HO have operating layouts at this time between my Father's house and mine. 

    S is boxed and N-scale is loco/rolling stock residue from a former layout when I was active Duty Army.

  • 1:80 scale, which is rather closer to OO than to HO.  As far as I know, it is used almost exclusively to model Japanese prototype, which makes it very common in Japan and very uncommon elsewhere.

  • Mostly G with some 0n30 and a nice 1" scale live steamer on the entertainment center.
  • I have run through the alphabet.  As a child I had American Flyer S guage trains.  Then as a teenager I switched to N-scale because we didn't have the space in our family home for a layout much larger than 4 X 8, and N seemed to offer more possibilities than HO within those limitations.  Over the years I have built 5 or 6 different layouts in N, as I moved from place to place.  I still have an operating N scale layout today.  

    Additionally, for about 10 years I also dabbled in G.  Mainly under the tree at Christmas, while the rest of the year the engines and cars sat on display shelves in the rec room.  Last year I decided to get rid of all my large scale equipment.  I finally came to realize that conditions in eastern Iowa aren't really favorable for building an outdoor railroad.  Right now I have 2 sets of Bachman On30; one passenger, one freight, that run around the Christmas tree.  I am thinking of building a shelf layout in On30, just to have a place to run the equipment during the rest of the year.

    I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

  • Right now I am a rubber gauger. I am doing N scale as a home layout eventually. Right now I am gathering Rolling Stock and then I will get a layout started as I get some space. And then I also belong to a model railroad club that is HO.
  • HO.

  •  I don't really care for any of the guages I have to use a magnifying glass to see the high details .   Blindfold [X-)]
  • I am a proud HO scaler
  • ALOT of my money is going to G scale right now, but O scale Lionels will always be my first love.
  • Most of my stuff is N scale standard gauge but I also have Nn3, O (standard gauge), On30 and G and HO.

    I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

    I don't have a leg to stand on.

  • You didn't even list my favorite scale. 1 1/2" scale 7 1/2" gauge. I model alot of G scale also. Inside modeling is in On30.
  • I'm not going to put down anybody like the others but I like N. The only reason why I like N is because for the size of my house it fits just right. I used to be HO but had to swap because my parents would not allow the amount of space HO would take up. So my (2) favourite scales are N scale and HO scale.
