    Welcome to the forums!!!!! [#welcome]

    I voted HO scale, that is what scale I model in. It allows for a ot of detail in not a lot of room.

    Yo would recieve a lot more info if you posted this on the model railroader forums of this site. I am sure you saw them in the forum index, and herre is a link

    It's funny how no matter what question it is, it usually gets referred to another forum!
    I model HO, but I am working on a smaller N laoyut in a coffee table, and welcome!

    Actually, there's a thread on this topic on the model railroader forum. You left out S scale from your list which is what I model.
    Enjoy

    Hi model train people: I have one for you, What is Tiny Scale (1:900) , Runs on nine volts.Who makes them?
    Where do i find that scale?
    I did find layouts on ebay, but would like to make my layout myself.
    Thanks for your time and keep them on the tracks.

    I've seen several of these polls and HO was always the most popular, which is what I model in.

    Here is another S scale modeler. Depending on your interests and/or skills don't overlook S. I switched about a year ago from HO and haven't regretted it for a minute.
