HO scale vehicles

[Anonymous]

As far a model railroading goes, no scale is compatible with any other beyond using say N scale vehicles, buildings, etc. in creating forced distance in the background of modeled HO scene where space is at a premium, this however is another topic for another time. Personally, I would suggest HO scale as the very smallest scale for a child to use. Anything below this size is to fragile and small for children to play with. Depending on how young your son is you may want to try introducing your son to the wooden model trains first and then advance from there as these are more rugged. HO scale is used by the vast majority of modelers, probably over 75%. The larger O scale and the smaller N scale have their own benefits as well as drawbacks. N scale is a little cheaper than HO scale and you need only half the amount of space to model the same scene as you would in HO yet the small size of the models makes them more difficult and fragile to work with. O scale models cost a bit more than HO models and you need double the space that you would in HO. Models that are availiabe in O scale are easier to work with due to their larger size and can be modeled more realistically in my opinion than any of the smaller scales. My main suggestion to you would be to use the scale that conforms best to you individual needs and desires. Each scale has its own place in the hobby. Good luck to you and your son. It's good to hear you are helping create a new generation of model railroader!

i am very new to this hobby and am trying to find out the best scale to start out with for my son. I've been looking at the HO scales, what, if any, other scales are compatible? Any info would be great

How about anything modern and American. Quality, modern HO scale vehicles are very scarce offerings by manufacturers probably since most of these manufacurers are foreign companies.

I'd like to see replicas of a NEW John Deere Tractor, a PONTOON Boat - fishing barge type, newer travel trailers or 5th Wheels.
