Hello everyone, It has been several years since my last foray into model railroading, which used to be in HO Scale. Since then, I have become a grad student and got married, which are not good ingredients for having living arrangements. I would like to get back into model railroading, but have severe space restrictions. I figure I have two options: I can either make a small HO switching layout or a small N scale continuous run layout. I tend to favor the small N scale layout since I have always enjoyed main line running and tend to find switching puzzles a little tedious and dull. Nothing sets my heart going like a long main line freight train blazing down the tracks! The problem, though, is that I am having serious qualms about the change to N scale. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but I am worried that I will somehow come to regret the decision to go with N scale (especially since I am also on a somewhat limited budget). Perhaps I am worried about the quality of N scale equipment due to my lack of knowledge about what N scale equipment is worth the time/money; especially the locomotives and rolling stock. Maybe I just need reassurance that high quality equipment is available and serious modeling can be done in N scale. So if anyone could give some advice about which way I should go, or even just some general reassurance about N scale and potential equipment, hopefully I can get my beloved trains up and running once more! Thanks, everyone! All Best, Zachary
