I'd go from HO to N and hire a teenager to do the close work

My last jump was from G to On30, though I also still have an N scale layout.  I suspect that if and/or when I finally settle on one scale it will be On30.  Primarily because I am more of a model builder than an operations person. 

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain!  On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

I model HO now, but if I had to start over again, Z scale without a question.  I like the fact that I can have extremely long mainlines and tons of track between towns.

The last question I had about the perfect layout size was quite revealing.  It got me to thinking........

We all love the scale of models that we picked, for whatever reasons, but if you had to change scales, what scale would you choose now and why?

Myself, I'm an N scaler, but I might give Z scale a good hard look because of the vastness of scenery that can be accomplished, but in the end I'd probably go with HO because virtually everything is available or S scale because I like the "heft" of it!

Now how about you?
