I am surprised that Steven addresses the age old myth that N scale is not so well suited for switching operation (or should I say shunting?). There are quite a few guys in here who may be able to prove him wrong. If you are starting all anew, N scale has a lot to offer. A 4 by 8 layout gives you close to 4 times more real estate when compared to HO scale and allows you to build a much more generous and less cramped layout. As to the vision issue, I have dabbled in nearly all scales there are, from Z scale to G scale. N scale is as good  or as bad to handle as any other scale. Mind you, the bigger the scale, the more of those tiny details you have to include to avoid making your layout look bland. In G scale, you even have to model the pigeon droppings on the roof of a house and the weeds growing between the setts of your cobblestone alley.
