<p>Both scales have there pros and cons, as stated before. The choice, which scale you want to model in, depends. IMHO, on the type of operation you envision for your layout. If you like to watch trains run through some spectacular scenery, N scale is very well suited, because it allows for a more spacious design than HO scale. Just take a look at MR´s project layout, the Salt Lake Route. If switching operation is your game, than HO scale is better - gives you more of the real thing. With a lot of attention to detail and, maybe, sound, even a small layout will give you the reward you are looking for.</p> <p>N scale allows for a surprising amount of detail and realistic look. Long gone are the days of crude detail, or the lack of it. Take a look at Dave Vollmer´s superb work in that scale. However, I find, that N scale requires a careful choice of viewing perspective. To get the right view, you have to bring up the layout close to eyelevel.</p>
