Possible Scale Switch

[RobertInOntario]

I know the feeling. In one of my videos i posted here, i have a few clips of my E60CH pulling 8 coaches. It looked fine going through the scene, but the train itself took up a little less than half of the mainline run on the outer oval of my 4x8!
This is why now if i run passengers, its usually in the form of an Electric Multiple Unit, since a 2 to four car train wouldn't be unusual. three car push pulls are also common on some parts of the eastern lines i model during off peak hours.
Are there any british equivalents of RDCs or doodle bugs? I figure they have MUs, but i'm not sure you're looking to electrify

Yes, I suppose even a 4x8' layout doesn't do justice to scale-length trains. This is one more reason why N can be a good choice (easier to run full-scale trains). I probably won't be switching to N anytime soon though as I've got too much money and stock invested in my HO / 00 collection. I'll have to make do. Also, in recent years, I now need reading glasses so working with N could be a challenge. I even have to put reading glasses on when soldering and working on HO scale stuff! I'm not that old (51) but still need to be realistic.
