I've got roughly 13 feet against a wall in a garage to build a layout. I'd like to keep the width to 36" of less.
Yes, I know in HO that translates to a 15" radius or less, but I'd use only short cars, and switcher diesels, NW2, SW7
or similar. I looked at costs and not to worried about any difference. Detail wise I see not a huge difference N vs HO except
that N is harder to see and make out detail. Both scales offer sound, DCC. N is more delicate and harder to work with
for an arthritic old guy (me). And I know N would accommodate more trackage, turnouts, etc. Any thoughts from those experienced
with both scales might help me decide.
