HO scale
Not to big
Not to small

[camarokid]

HO scale
It has everything that I need to have and the prices are usually not to expensive for most of us.

[egmurphy]

I'm in N scale. I actually "like" N and HO about the same, but I'm building my layout in N because I'm spatially challenged, (i.e. not enough room).

Heck, I like it all.

HO
The right size for me to work with (handle, see).
The right size for the area I have for the layout.
A price that I can afford (allows me to have more).
Plenty of models available (both locos and accessories).
Very good detailing available.

I like S scale, big enough to see, small enough to be able to do something.
I find that S is the perfect balance, the pieces are big enough to handle when building a car or buidling, the trains are big enough to see with my older eyesight, and it's small enough that I don't need a whole basement.

Every scale is compromise - you have to decide what you want to do and which scale does it best for you.

Im into HO. I like switching and O is too big and N is too small. What can i say, it works for me[:D]

HO. Cause TT scale isn't as wide spread.

Well, you just need to jump in. I think it's a scale that will survive and grow because it fills the gap between HO and N like S does between HO and O. Unlike OO which is too close to HO to make it; TT is approx 3/4 the size of HO and 4/3 the size of N. It needs a committed manufacturer to revive it much like American Models did with S and then I think it will take off.

I have stuff in N, HO, S, and O.

But I mostly work in HO.

If I could find my camera, I'd post a pic of the O train under the tree.

Ho scale,But i would like to build a small layout in S scale.{maybe someday}

[Anonymous]

O.

Sounds and operation. As well as detail.

[Noah Hofrichter]

HO scale currently. But someday I'd like to do a small garden layout to compliment my HO one.

Heres some pictures of my stuff in O.

Like N best and it runs pretty good now. Like HO but would rather have nearly twice the layout in nearly half the space, I like point to point with turnaround loops, and passenger cars, 22 car trains. Would like to have more than 1/2 of a scale mile. I have two PCC trolleys I'd like to power though, 1/50th for O. I see stuff in HO I'd like to have in N, some items of buildings, locos, say like a F7A/A in Black Widow that runs good, SP. Being small, I don't have to worry about tiny details, can't see them. Like the classic metal works N cars and trucks, but the N is a bit off on my Hudson Hornet. I also have some DieCast cars, 1/18, 1/24, smaller in certain streamlined models I liked in the 40s and 50s. Not enough room for many, they will go in the train room as part of the theme, stuff I liked as a kid, and can't afford to collect in 1:1 scale.

H.O.
Its because Im most familiar with it and I just like the size.

[areibel]

TT, of course!! And Thanks Aggro and Paul for the kind words. We ain't dead yet, and even slowly growing!

[lupo]

HO for me, [^]
do not quite know why, I guess because most of the stuff I have is HO scale.

[jdolan]

HO because of the detail and availablity of things.Also the largest I have room for to have a nice layuot.
