general N scale info wanted

[ezdays]

Yup, it's hard to debate the costs when you factor in the real estate. My N scale layout takes up about 60 square feet. My home is valued at about $100 a square foot, meaning the space it takes up costs around $6,000. The same layout in HO would run around $12,000. In O scale we're talking close to $20,000 and the same layout in G scale would be something over $30,000, unless of course, it was in the back yard.

But then again, that's not what the article is directed at, saying that pound for pound, G scale is more economical, and you can get more details for the dollar as well.

Thank you Eric for posting this article.
