Looking forward to watching, I have a little N scale that I might do something with!

Another N Scale convert - nice to see, and I will also be following along

I just noticed a bundle of n scale flex track mixed in with the HO lot I just bought. It's a start and has me thinking.

When you first move to a smaller scale, that scale is going to seem very small and too hard to work with, fiddly and frustrating compared to the scale you have been accustomed to. N Scale is fun and you can do so much more with it. All I am saying is IF you do decide to give N Scale a try, don't be put of by it's smaller size, give yourself some time to adjust and you maybe surprised by what you can do.

Hmm, I will concede that coupling and uncoupling can place be a bit of a strain on the "blood pressure" from time to time; however, unless you are into shunting/switching ops - how often do you really couple/uncouple cars once you have made a train up?

 

[Hutch]

As long as I have a rerailer for putting them on the track. I can barely put my HO trains on the track without one.

Oh yeah, auto uncompleted tracks are a must for shaky hands.

I can barely put my HO trains on the track without one.

Getting N Scale engines and rolling stock on the rails can be challenging enough without shaky hands at times.
