" O scale scares me. So much detail you have to get right "
Yeah, but then again, it's "larger", therefore
"easier detail, to model". 
(( The engine is a Bachmann On30 Mogul, with the boiler extended, on an Athearn Genesis 2-8-2 chassis...+ brass castings.))
The forest scene painting used as a backdrop helps make the scene look better.
Look at it this way, it could be "Gawd I have to model every single nut and bolt...and the threads on each bit of exposed bolt !!" scale.
The sobering thought is how much more layout you could build on a postage stamp, in "T" scale. 
not me.
That said, Dan, I'm looking forward to seeing your N scale empire grow, you are off to a good start.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
