Product choices, HO vs N

[ezdays]

Just trying to finish up my latest "do something" challenge and it would be nice to put a few vehicles on the streets and parking lots. I looked through what I have and I'm ashamed that most of it looks like lumps of plastic toys, even 10 feet away. It's hard to show a lot of detail in N scale, but there are vehicles available that are better looking than what I have, so I pulled out the current Walther's flyer. Yup, there's a few N scale vehicles in it, lots more choices if I was doing HO though. As a matter of fact, I would have a heck of a lot more choices of anything if I was doing HO. Just as an example, in the flyer:

Vehicles in HO in flyer - 55
Vehicles in N in flyer - 11
New items in HO - 65
New items in N - 5
Pages of HO on sale -23
Pages of N on sale - 5
Scenery items on sale in HO - 80
Scenery items on sale in N - 9
Parts on sale in HO - 21
Parts on sale in N - 0

I'm not knocking it, I chose N scale for a reason, knowing that I would be in the minority, and that HO was far the most popular scale. I feel for those in any other scale, I thought I saw a few items in O or Z, but I couldn't fine them again. I'm just pointing out one of the downfalls for working in N scale. It's not enough to make me want to change, way too late for that, even though my eyes and hands wished that I would.
