Your scale

[Anonymous]

My scale is 0 & .027, but I also am somewhat into N scale. I'm also heavily into H/O, S, and G scale. I enjoy them all. I started with Marx a .027 wind-up as a young boy age 5 in 1955. I got my first Marx Electric steamer set in 1957, and an Marx Santa-Fe A-A set in 1958. I got into H/0 at age 11, and stayed there for a long time. Since 1990 I've gotten very much into the "big trains". I found an old Marx Electric at a flea market, and the old bug bit! I have a lot of Lionel pre-war and post-war, Marx Tin & Plastic, both new & old. I also enjoy Am Fliers "S" , Aristocraft & LGB engines & rolling stock, & the Bachmann "Spectrum" line in "G" scale very much. I'm concerned that product availability / manufacturing capacity in 0 , .027, S & G scales don't seem to match demand as well as other smaller scales do. I hope that probelm is remedied soon. Waiting for a new 0 or G scale product to be available for purchase 6 to 18 months or more after it's been announced seems a bit long to me, especially in 0 scale. Does anyone else agree? I love this hobby, and I'd hate to see the popularity of these scales slip because marketing and, to a greater degree, manufacturing capacity and HIGH PRICE were out of sinc with demand.

I used to model in HO scale for a long time. I have been in N scale for the past 25 years.
Manufacturers need to wake up! N scale needs structures, factories, piers and car ferrys,

How about it manufacturers, are you up to the task???????

Primarily N-Scale for size and room constraints. Though I model HO, and G-scale (the Bachmann Big Haulers) for the garden.

TT for me! The only originally American scale, now it's way more popular in Europe than here. I was into HO for 25+ years, but with space at a premium most of it spent all the time packed away. I just got into TT two years ago with no regrets. Just wi***here was more available motive power wise. But confederatebob, the cars are here!
There are several resin kit manufacturers, and now an honest to goodness injection molded boxcar. Not a lot so far, but a start. With the power kits available for the Lionel 1:120 diesels, you can get started.
Hey Athern, instead of ANOTHER HO Challenger, why not try ONE TT loco?

I model in n scale,mostly I like to scratch build structures in the northeast .But time and space are against me. That is why I have a shelf layout. I am more interested in small and detailed, than large and rural scenery. My layout is 2 ft. by 11 ft. and sometimes I just look at it and if I feel like it I may turn on my transformer to do some switching. Urban and industries are the way to go. How much more interesting than looking at trees. I have been at it for 12 years and am about a third done,only one tree and no grass.

Primarily N because of lack of space. I can do much more in a given limited space w N than anything but Z. And N is about as small as I can comfortably work with.

I also rubber band a little to G, O-27 3-rail, and HO. Can't beat G for going around the xmas tree, and putting a present on a car that won't tip over. Used to use my Lionel for that until I saw how much more stable G was for that purpose. HO is only for clubs that I've gone to where they only have HO.

I love N scale because where else can you build a decent layout with lots of activity that will fit in an apartment? With HO, all I could ever fit was a lousy oval on a 4 X 8 sheet of plywood. I only wish Cornerstone and others offered more scenery (buildings and vehicles) for N scale.

N scale for me.I have a 12x9 room and like the amount of track i can get in to this area.The offerings are excellant and the manufactureres are doing a great job.I would love to see more offerings and think we will as N scale is really generating alot of interest and is gaining market share at a tremendous rate.The scenery to track ratio is about as good as it gets and now that decoders are being made to fit,theres no reason to go back to HO.Perhaps a Little G scale for the garden though is in my future :o)

N-Scale all the way. The growth in N is phenominal right now, with new, high quality products being released in droves.

When I get old and gray and can't see anymore, I plan to jump straight to O-scale...a nice little switching layout with all the bells and whistles. (literally!!!)

I model mainly HO, but I have some Lionel (including my very first 027 Model 2018 2-6-4. I'm starting in N scale, having just joined the Troy (OH) N scale railroaders.
