HO
But I thought long and hard about N. With all the detail included on some of the N scale stuff it may require a switch some day

HO exclusively, but used to model in N from 1970 to 1975. Have a double-deck layout under construction (with a 3rd deck staging yard tucked underneath) and sure thought long and hard about going back to N but think it was Tony K. who said now that he has a double-decker that it's okay now to like them. Anyway, what a great time for modelrailroaders in EVERY scale. Thank You, manufacturerers!

Given Lionel Set when younger, combined with my Dads Original Set. Still have my Dads set from 1925? Changed to HO when Teenager, Have so much "Stuff" now with plans for all of it, so couldn't change now even if I wanted to. So much available in HO, just seems to be the right choice. Have started several layouts, present one most complete, since my first one. N scale just to small and to delicate for me to see and handle. Good for forced perspective for scenery. Present layout is similiar to my first one, as a teenager, but with improvements. Small, 4' x 7' with yard extension. plenty of action and portable to take to shows, to show what can be done in a small space.

G scale, 1:24 gauge is what I'm aiming at.
Scale is all over the place in G. 1:32,1:29,1:24,1:22, and 1:20 all run on same track. Can be a bit frustrating at times, but 1:24 allows crossover to model car kits, dollhouse suppliers, etc.
Have fun with your trains

It's O scale for me. Experience the rumble and the roar....large on board speakers plus a sub woofer on the floor....nothing like it. The rolling stock is large, weighty, and certainly easier for a 58 year old to work on. But no matter, I was into O scale 25 years ago when I could see. Great stuff!

As I tell people at shows, with N scale the train is part of a scene rather than being the scene itself.
