I'm in the same boat, I am renting again due to work, so space is limited
I have always had HO and to me scratchbuilding is the most fun bit I enjoy, the trains are just to give a bit of action
I have just bought a Bachmann N scale loco (Bachmann N Scale MDT Plymouth Diesel Locomotive #60052) a little 040 diesel shunter that will have scratchbuilt sugar cane bins behind
(planning on modeling our local cane network)
Luckily I deal with surface mount `micro' electronics for a living, so ultra fine work isnt that much out of the question- but I do admit being a bit dubious about exactly how much I will be able to scratchbuild in N in comparison to what I could achieve in HO
problem is a 2 bedroom flat hasn't quite the same potential space as my own 2 car garage had...
