If you are not totally set on HO or N, think about Z - it will give you the closest rendition of your 10 miles. Your 15 feet is more than a half mile in Z (0.625 mi to be exact), and that much more room for your spurs, processing, and distribution areas. And more rolling stock as well.

I am a beginner and planning a historic based layout in my basement.
I have an area about 15' by 15'. I am looking for input on what everyone thinks would be best - HO or N, and also what track to use?
The layout is a short line ( about 10 miles ) and has many spurs, loading, processing, and distribution areas at each end. Thanks...
