I had the same dilema. I'm in an apartment, that I know I'll be moving out of in a year or two. I went with "N" and a shelf mounted layout. The layout is 10' x 10' x 24" wide arranged in an "L" I made the benchword out of 1/4 ply topped with 1" foam. I built it in 3 sections, and when I make the scenery I will plan on it be able to be broken down into those three sections. All I will have is about 10 small screw holes to patch up when we leave. I could have used legs, and had no screw holes, but I figured I would keep kicking them. I went with "N" becasue it will give me enoght running room to not get board in the Space I have. Who knows someday If I end up with the Space I may go "O", but I'm really starting to like "N" The one thing I can say is to check around and It is better to have one real good engine than three toys. For my "N" I have (2) Atlas and (2) life likes. The Atlas run like a dream, the Life like are noisy and won't pull at slow speeds like the Atlas. You'll get plenty of good advice here. As for Size I wouldn't go bigger than "HO" Dave
