Well, I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents here. <br />I've dabbled in both N scale & HO since the late 60's, & it's been my experience that if you want to model steam (plastic, out of the box steam, that is), you'll do a lot better going with the larger scale. That's true for both better quality, & wider selection of products. <br />But there has to be hope. 30 years ago, N scale diesels were a pretty pathetic lot too! Now I have N scale diesels from Life-Like, Kato, & Atlas, that look & run as good as their HO counterparts. <br />Alas, I have also built up a small collection of old N scale steamers over the years, of various makes, none of which run any longer. So, on my current N scale layout, I have a scrap yard, with a length of dummy track, which is lined with "bad-order" equipment, including several rusty old steamers, waiting for the cutting torch!
