The N Scale layout is much easier to setup however, that is probably why. The HO always has to be a rectangle and specific pieces have to go in certain places, where the n scale you can take as many or as few as you want.
The HO group should check out freemo (or fremo) standards and our local club (<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotrak.ca">www.hotrak.ca</a><!-- w -->) for more ideas to break "out of the box". We rarely have rectangular layouts any more, and with the exception of modules that are designed to go together, every module can be placed anywhere in the layout.
