Just for the record they do make sound and DCC equipted N scale locos (mostly 6 axle or large steam) and excellent under the table sound systems. As someone who has the under the table system at home (N scale) and DCC loco sound at work ( O scale) after a few weeks the sound became rather annoying (at work I have to listen to it up to 8 hours a day) and I now turn the sound off every chance I get! I don't understand why N would be a problem if you want to switch? Zillions of people, myself included do switching in N scale everyday and really enjoy it. As far as going HO with 15" radius your trackwork will have to be flawless and your locos and cars VERY short and even then you will probably have enough problems that you will end up tearing it all out and starting over. The reason I know this is it's why I switched to N scale in the first place. If I had it to do over I would probably go with Z scale.
