HO or N

If you are just starting out and don't have other equipment already purchased, I would recommend taking a good look at N scale products in several Hobby shops and in the Walther's catalog (if you can browse through one at one of the hobby shops). If you find the types of trains that you want to model, and are satisfied with the detail, then I would recommend N scale for the type of operation you are considering. You will get a lot more into your limited space. <br /> <br />On the other hand, if you look at N scale and find that what you want to model isn't readily available, or the level of detail isn't to your satisfaction, or if you already have a significant investment in HO scale, then certainly go HO. For me, I have a limited space and would like to have long mainline runs, but I already had a sizeable HO collection, liked the level of detail better, and most of all, found most of what I wanted in HO scale. Much of what I was interested in just wasn't available in N scale, so I decided to stay with HO. My hope is that someday I will have more room and can then build my dream layout. For now it's just a 4'x8' table, with a layout planned for my 8'x16' storage shed for the future. <br /> <br />-Joe
