Survey say's

[Brakie]

I was surprised with 10 HO and 5 N scalers responding .
-----------------------------
That doesn't surprise me seeing N Scale has seen a 2% growth over the past 5 years-not bad-please don't ask..I forgot where I read that..

The surprise was that Trainboard has mostly been a forum with more N scalers than HO. It is amazing what the layouts look like and the quality of detail they have. I checked this morning and more N's are now responding. As one gentleman said, It's really an individuals choice on what he models. Space is the most responded reason on N. I really like one that said he "preferred quality vs quantity" and I'm assuming he was describing the detail of HO vs N. I personally could not add the brake detailing that I can do with a HO Tichy car in N scale.

There are N Scalers that adds the brake rigging to their cars using thin wire. :o

I never could add the finer details in N even when I was younger.Of late I do well to add aftermarket horns in HO.

The amount of detailing,kit bashing and finer modeling going on in N is unbelievable.
