Possible Scale Switch

[nachoman]

If you don't have a permanent layout yet, and don't have much HO stuff, now is a excellent time to switch. N scale is not that much more expensive. Start small and pick up used stuff. But, you left out another huge advantage - portability. You can very easily build a small n-scale layout to fit in a small apartment and take it with you as you move. a 30" x 72" n-scale layout is MUCH easier to move than a 4x8 foot HO layout.
